I also read that report , which did make me hesitate on the purchase initially , but finding it available on Amazon at that price was the deciding factor , I also watched the video on u.tube that advocates going in from either side which I did, once it had got over that and moving fairly easily slightly backed off ,I then applied pressure to the actual curve /dent . The end result is what matters though ... I can now fit the lens cap securely , a filter will screw on and off easily .. it's had a bonus that the job appears to have unlocked the functionality of the lens allowing it to zoom in and out on the camera motor where it was jammed tight before and had to be forced manually . And it doesn't appear to have affected the focus at all .. it was still a sweat over job though in case it didn't work out . The only thing holding me back at the moment is my own lack of mobility and weakness after the heart attack.. BTW I was quoted between £85 and £120 to repair this lens so it's definetly a win win for £23 Last edited on Sat Jun 22nd, 2019 17:27 by blackfox |
