I had a single spec of dust somewhere in there, but did only have a screwdriver. Simply opened the lens from the backside and stuck my blower in between. Did the job luckily lol

[@diyextravaganza]

as long as it works :)

[@diyextravaganza]

Glad to hear it, don't forget to like, subscribe and tell all your friends about the channel. Cheers.

[@roberto.a]

Nice video, thank you. I had two of them, the first one was a dust-sucker, the second one, after 7 years is extremely clean... I don't know why, maybe some samples are better sealed than others.

[@diyextravaganza]

maybe they changed the sealing design in between. Cheers.

[@greatbaracuda6164]

how about the rear glass. Is it more delicate to open it ?

[@diyextravaganza]

I'd say a bit lens confortable since you have to deal with the electronics and two groups to disassemble, but all depends on what you need to do on the lens. Cheers.

[@mscadenn]

How repairable is the lens?

[@diyextravaganza]

It depends on what you need to repair. Best.

[@mscadenn]

@@diyextravaganza how about the replacement of the af motors from another unit?

[@diyextravaganza]

@@mscadenn that's some work. Interesting nevertheless.

[@alistairmartins]

If there is a bit of fungus in the front element is it easy to clean ?

[@diyextravaganza]

if it is just behind the front element, it should be a trivial task, if in between lenses, it would be more difficult. I'm curious, can you join the "lens repair" group in facebook and share a pic?

[@greatbaracuda6164]

it shouldn't take days in service centers. also i dont trust leaving the lens with them . i wouldnt know if the glasses where replaced

[@diyextravaganza]

I don't trust service centers either. I prefer to repair stuff myself. Cheers.

[@stophsauter9061]

... could you maybe show the behind-lens-group removal... would be great, thank you if.

[@diyextravaganza]

I'll do it if I dump into one of these lenses again.
