Mirror was jammed, when I popped the lens this was caught in between...
is it important? my Vivitar 28mm doesn't seem to have a piece like that.

Check your othr lenses and look in the camera mount for ... something missing.

It looks like part of the lens baffle which comes on the later 50mm lenses. I can't imagine how it broke off (is is part of the casting on the base), but the camera and lens should work without it (as I mentioned, this part doesn't exist on the earlier lenses).

on my lens it appears the baffle was actually glued on to the base, not cast with it...oh well! that's why it fell off. thanks for the info Frontman, I wonder why they added this baffle to later versions.
