- This lens has a tendancy to collect dust very quickly on the inner element. Luckily its not hard to clean. As always if you are not comfortable with this process get a professional. Attemp at your own risk! Be careful and work slowly.
very well explained thanks.
Thank you very much
i did clean also now my lens inside this way
i did not know how to do it
tnx!
Thank you very much, you help me with this video. I try it once and it was very easy to clean all the dust from the lens at all.
Great job!!!!!!!!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching. Since I've cleaned mine it has stayed almost dust free...almost :-)
THX for this video, help me a lot.❤❤❤
Many thanks for video! Greeting from Russia!
Greetings, Hope it helps and thanks for the feedback!
I tried this on my lens and it worked out fine. You need the right micro screw driver though .. my #00 size micro was too big so I had to get a #000 or better still get a #0000 cos I think that is the exact fit. These are tiny screws so u have to take care on this. Do not try to force them with the wrong size screw driver as if you blunt the screw head, you could be in for trouble. Placing the screws back in is not easy unless you have a magnetic screw driver or really expert fingers. Apart from this it is quite easy to do.
Good tip on the screw driver size, yes it is very important to use the correct size, one slip and you ruin the screw.
Excellent tutorial thanks. I got some sand particles into my 24-105L lens at the weekend. I hear it when I move the zoom ring. Does this video process slow me to clean out the sand or are there further screws to remove to fe that sand out? Thanks so much look forward to hearing back.

Sand could be scary, may want to send it off for a cleaning.
Thanks for the help!
Brandon KAIHO' Lagaert glad it was useful
Very useful Joe! Because of you I will be able to sell my lens for a higher price instead of chump change. Have a good day.

@@capitolbassfishing I'll buy something that's "Made in America" to support your economy! ;)
Brandon KAIHO' Lagaert lol you got it!
1:44 actually it has tiny hole up there if you have sharp needle to lift up the cover !
I am not sure how the screw could have came loose but yes once you get the front glass removed you should be able to get it out. Make sure you purchase the correct screw driver so the screws dont get damaged. The ring went back on without more glue...it was still sticky. wear gloves :-) ... cloth so you dont get finger prints on the glass and dont forget to mark the location of the front glass before you remove it. If all else fails send it to canon and they will fix it for a fee.
Hi Joe. When putting the screws back, can you place it in any of the the three holes available in each and every screw ? Because I see 9 different holes all in all.
Been a while since I've cleaned it but I would try to put it back together exactly the way it came apart. To be honest though I am not sure what the exact answer is to your question.
I used sand paper on mine. It's kinda muddy now.
what happened with my 17-55 is that 1 screw fell loose and now its rattling inside the lens. however, it did happen once that the screw itself showed itself between the first and second glass, meaning, if i would open it the way you did, i could get it out. but it eventually disappeared into the back. i will attempt this tutorial this weekend in order to fish it out.
regarding the glued ring, can you mount it back on with existing glue, or do you have to apply a new one?
Thank
What about the ba elements? How can I clean them?
Do you know how to clean the rear lenses? I have a huge partial stuck in there and I don't want to spend $200 for someone to clean it.
No experience with the rear elements. Sorry
Do you have the exact screwdriver size and type for this?
Sharifah Shahidah I don't know the exact size I used but I had a tool kit and kept trying until I found one that worked.
whats the exact screw driver size
Jeff Kappel I am not sure, I have a small electronics tool kit and checked until I found one that fit.
