R-M adapter hard to remove

Yes, I'm pressing the silver button. It takes a hard press. Perhaps it needs more actuations to loosen up?

 

I have two original R-M adapters and both are easy to operate. I can't see what possibly could go wrong. Even if spring holding the release button is broken or removed locking pin would drop and make R lens not secure.

 

To operate - press and push down & hold (towards M mount), while holding release button down rotate R lens to remove.

I perhaps used the wrong word "press" because it actually is a sliding movement. (You are pressing sideways.) The release button slides parallel to the flat foot of the mount in the direction of the bayonet fitting which mates with the camera.

To 1234 and mmradman: Thank you for your responses to my question.

 

Slide is the key word.

 

Sliding the silver button away from the lens when one wants to uncouple the lens from the adapter is the key to success. My thumb no longer has a dent from pushing on the silver button without simultaneously sliding it away from the lens.

If it makes you feel any better, I had the same problem, though the adaptor was defective, and it was only completely by accident I discovered it was a slide motion. I don't think it came with the proper instructions... In any event, you are not the only one so confused!
