Thank you so much for posting, you've saved my lens, the reassembly part was super clear - I tried several times unsuccessfully until found your great vid thanks
I had the lens completely apart without and then after watching a few other videos, I finally came across yours. I have the lens back together! The blades of the aperture seem to be a little sticky though. Oh well! I’m happy to have it working “somewhat okay.”
Very Informative video. I open my Canon 50mm lens couple of months ago but tried many time but not able to close it but I think after watching your video I'll do it. I'll try again in few days again.
Hello Very good video!!! Do you have any video of Canon nfd zoom? I have a 35 105 f3.5 macro and I can't get it back together and get the aperture to work. It only stays wide open all the time.
Hello. I did everything exactly the same as in tutorial (about 50 times), and everything is fine till final locking: there is no way to set two red dots in the same position - the mount rotates and blocking about 7 millimeters earlier. Any ideas what to do with this problem?
Hi thanks a lot for your tutorial I had an issue with the diaph stucked , I cleaned the blades but dismount the middle and inner helicoid Unfortunately I didn't do marks like you , I managed to set the middle helicoid and count 6 turns, then I put the middle like you and the helicoid key, but every time I test the focus, the middle helicoid go out to far and I don't know how can I fix this and I can't do focus on infinity Thanks for the help
Hello, I have a 35mm f2 nfd that the aperature ring will not change the iris (even with adapter, other nfd lenses work). I bought this broken hoping I could fix it. Do you have any videos that might help me?
Hello, I repaired the aperture blades by myself but made the mistake to not set marks and now the aperture blades closes too far in. Do you have any tips to adjust this the best way?
Hey :) Maybe you have already fixed it but I though I'd write for other people who might have the same problem. At around 36:52 he talks about how the holes are not complete round. More of an elongated circle shape. If you fasten the screws on the wrong side of the elongated circle you will end up with a too small aperture opening. Especially noticeable at f22. So just loosen the screws a little bit and adjust it so that it ends up on the opposite side of the hole.
There's a known issue with canon FD lenses focus ring, that has some metal rollers with rubber that dissintegrates over time, but I watched your video several dozen times and I can't really see anything like it. Do you know this issue?
Great video. I've been looking at Canon FD 17mm lenses and was wondering if it's the same process to remove the front element in those. I see some that are marked down in price because of dust or haze, and as long as I can easily remove the element and clean it then I am fine.
hej Kenneth. Jeg har sådan en obtik som på videoen, som jeg bruger en del, men focus ringen er desværre gået løs.. jeg tør ikke rigtig rode mig ud i at fixe det selv... ville det være muligt at få den fixet hos dig, imod betaling og forsendelse? ( hvis du er uden for københavn )
Can you help? I separated the helicoid on my Canon FD 55 1.2 SSC (non-aspherical) without having documented the angle/number of turns to remove/reassemble. Now I cannot get the focus assembly put back together :(
Tengo un problema con mi lente, no están alineados los puntos rojos y por consecuente no se deja ensamblarlo en mi canon ae1 alguien sabe como puedo solucionar eso, por más que intento no puedo.
This video will save my lenses. Thank you very much for sharing this information and helping keep these lenses alive.
Thank you. Seriously saved my life/lenses!

Thank's Daniel, but I don't have any videos about that lens.
it can only sit in one position. Jeg kan lyd en dansker fra tusind km, rigtig godt video.

Is this applicable to the 50mm NFD 1.4?

I've been trying to search for an answer to taking apart the front lens element for the nFD 17mm f/4 and I can't find anything anywhere :/
