The strap hook on the left side of my 5d2 body got bent in a fall and I want to replace it. Do I have to go through all these steps or is there an easier way to get to it ? Thanks
Everything it's very nice in this guide.
I just have a question?
Where do I can find the top panel to buy it?
It's seem almost impossible...
I would also like to know where a replacement top panel can be purchased from.
I purchased one on Ebay , (US) $100 USD
The guide is useful and quite easy to follow. Thanks
