But as mentioned actually there are four cases in this thread only. Moreover and more important to me, in fact I in person own a Swarovski ATX 25-60x65 and the first thing I thought when I assembled the two parts was "Gosh, you shouldn't try it too often!" This was because I did not experience the smooth run and reassuring "Click" I got accustomed to of my Minolta, Contax, Canon cameras but to my surprise the impression of a somewhat inexact and fragile mechanism compared to these camera bayonets. I own only the 65 lens so there is no need for disassembling, hence no problem at all. And when I have to take my ATX to pieces I will do it with due diligence. But I was not surprised to read about those problems so I dared to reason.And to help that "the matter does not become too serious": The Dodge example was really inept: I never would expect an American car to operate flawlessly... ;-)</blockquote>
