 The plastic "thingy" inside the mount that provides the spring for the lens 
release pin breaks. Chronic for this lens. I gather. Fixes in the archives 
include epoxy and other glues, as well as John H's more sophisticated repair 
(screws).

Plastic locking pin on what? I need to know what to dread. :-)

Just cause they are old doesn't mean lenses aren't sharp. I posted here a while 
ago about how an 'ancient' 200/4 Nikkor bested both my 200/5 and 200/4 Zuikos, 
center and edge. Huge, heavy, probably flares more easily, but SHARP.
