Thanks, Don. For all the time poking, prodding and staring at it, I
never noticed the little bit at the end of the strip.
It's not clicking in, for some reason, the linkage between the 1.4 and
the lens. If I watch the release button, rotating the lens (or camera)
causes the button to depress all on its own, releasing the assembly.
As you say, I'll be cautious (if the old brain retains the info under
pressure!), and afterwards I may dismantle it and have a look.
Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye open for a spare...
