    Great video but don´t use retaining compound - it's designed to hold bearings etc in place and will make it very difficult to undo the screws if you need to take them out again. Use a thread locking compound. That holds the screws but let's you take them out later.

    Hi , I have a canon lens 18-55mm. Manual focus working, no issue for motor.
    Problem is it can focus on 18mm and 55mm or 48mm. between 18 mm to 48mm can auto focus only one time then not working. to focus again need to adjust manually for full blur and again it can focus only only one time. Do you know how to fix this issue?

  • @dalewimberley6189
    @dalewimberley6189 4 года назад +5

    Interesting. But this only gets dust out between the front 2 elements. But it's dust in the camera body end (not front) of the lens that is most likely to affect images - I'm guessing that is a trickier cleaning project. This lens probably has 11 or 12 elements. Unless there's an awful lot of dust in the lens, it's unlikely to affect images. I recommend not doing what's shown in this video unless the lens' condition is extreme.

    Don't ever use metal tools near glass surfaces and neither on plastic rings. And all this blowing inside the tube is not recommended. And don't get obsessed with small particles inside. They may be annoying but they are not likely to influence the image forming.
