John -
You bring up an interesting point here. If Charles is having trouble
because the release pin is a little long a quick trip to the Dremel
grinder would be just the thing (they're quite easy to remove for the
operation.)
However, if the lobes are actually gripping too tightly and the kerfs
are closed then it would be considerably trickier to get this thing to
behave.
So here I am going on about shims and such and perhaps his problem is
quite the opposite of mine. I think it's the newer lenses that are
supposed to require skinnier lobes and older stuff (like my old 2-cam
lenses) are the ones that need the screwdriver spread (with shims if
necessary.)
