I tried to disassemble a fungus infected F35-70 for fun. I couldn't find JIS screwdrivers, instead I used PH000 and PH00 drivers from an electronics shop. They fit ok. You need to apply a lot of pressure! The screws on my F35-70 didn't need heating. I did notice some screws had some kind of glue (l

My first problem. I hit the screw heads holding the lens mount on with a soldering Iron each for about 3 minutes. Two screws came out nice as pie. the other three are stuck hard. I've caused a little damage to two of them, but they still should work. I tried more heat for a longer time on

Well it finally happened. My F 70-210mm jammed. Some of you may remember Powell's 70-210mm repair, and the problem he had with the information brush. (for those who need a reminder http://members.shaw.ca/hargravep/lenses.htm ). It seems to happen no matter what you do. I'm on my way to dis
