Do any body have any information, how to unscrew the head from the helicoid of the lens, to use it later with Focorapid device?

Just take hold of the front and the rear and unscrew

If it has not been unscrewed for a  very long time, or ever, lubricants congeal and harden. Unscrewing can be very difficult and might need an experienced repair technician to do it for you unless you have the requisite skills to do it.

The greatest thanks! It really helped me. I only had to understand first in what direction it has to be unscrewed.  So, it goes on counterclockwise – as usual. Yes, it was stiffen, but I overcame it at the end!

Hello LittleAlex,

Welcome to the Forum.

Unlike the earlier 200mm f4.5  Telyt lens head, and the lens heads for the 135mm f4.5 Hektor, 135mm f4 Elmar & 280mm f4.8 Telyt:

The lens head for the 200mm f4 Telyt screws directly into the Focorapid without an adapter.

Best Regards,

Michael
