Thanks Todd
But while that seem to work a little for the GX the Rolleiwide seem to
be fitted a different way. On further investigation after taking off
the silver ring that holds the hoods, I discovered that the front
element sits on a piece that is not held by any screws or even affected
by the piece that has all the words on the front of the lens. This
might seem confusing because as I write it, I feel confused so here we
go again.
After screwing of the silver section that houses the hood, I discovered
that the lens spins on its axis and does not seem to be affected by
anything around it. The ring with the words that people keep
suggesting that I use to spin the lens and hold it firm does not touch
the lens at all so I do not know what is holding this lens in place.
I hope this gives a clearer image.

I have a GX body mounted on a flash bracket and is always sitting on my shelf if not in use. I took it down and with my Rolleiwide started cleaning and dusting off both cameras. In cleaning the lens on the GX I noticed that it spun, I then checked the taking lens on the Rolleiwide and it did the same thing, it spun freely. Thats the best way I can explain it.

Yes it is the front element.I am puzzled. How is the lens mounted on a flash bracket? I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. Just to be clear, lens elememts are quite firmly clamped in their mountings and should not movable.
But two cameras, in two different places. One is mounted on a flash bracket the other I have in my bag. they are both rotating.
