Amazing tutorial, the front group element can't be separated from each other like the back group element?

How did you remove the back lenses housing? The only slots I could find was the for the retention ring for one of the lens.
Using rubber tool only rotates the lens and not the housing.

For the rear lens I twisted and removed only the first piece of glass. Now the larger part and other piece of glass is still inside the camera. How do I twist out the larger piece? In your video you were able to get get everything to come out as one piece

Hi, try to put it back using a little of thread locker, wait until dry and then try to remove the all group...

@@FotofixVintageCameras What I did instead is remove the front lens, put the camera in bulb mode and held the shutter button down so that the blades opened and I could clean the rear element :)

Can you point to a video about troubleshooting the meter system on the SP?

[@FotofixVintageCameras]

No sorry, but I will try to make a video about that soon...

I have an Olympus 35 SP. The front name plate was glued on. It took me a while realised why I could not unscrew it.

Did you have only one notch at the bottom?
I have only one notch - probably also glued

What is the liquic you use to clean the lens? 99% Alcohol?

You should better wear gloves when cleaning the lens.
