Introduction |
| My favorite super-wide lens did not survive a five foot drop onto a concrete floor. (Nor did my camera, but that's another story.) This repair guide will show how to tear down the lens and repair a major structural component. It will also go deeper to show the zoom and focus mechanisms. | | | A word of warning about disassembling the autofocus mechanism - ''don't do it'' unless you A) really, really have to or B) are insatiably curious. If you look on the web, most of the teardown videos of autofocus lenses usually end in the phrase "but my autofocus isn't working." Personally, I haven't figured out the secret to putting these suckers back together. The best I could do with mine is get it "kind of working". So, take that to heart, and let's get to it! |
