You're welcome 🤗

This was excellent.. Knowing what it can take up front gives me a better idea if I can really do it. I suppose it would be nice to have a box of assorted camera screws as backup.
Or at least an extra disaster of a couple of lenses you can sabotage for screws. And practice on!

you'll get the spares eventually on things that are beyond repair or simply not worth repairing. Cheers.

Recién vi el video, solo como anécdota comento que compré el año pasado un Nikkor af18-70 DX usado en eBay a precio de basura, porque en el elemento posterior tenía unas marcas bastante visibles de huellas dactilares, que intenté quitar con algunos líquidos limpialentes, siendo imposible.
Recordé que un técnico reparador hace más de treinta años me comentó el mismo problema.
Increíblemente logró limpiar el lente ...PERO...con Saliva bucal!, Humedeciendo un poco una tela limpialentes, lo hice ...E INMEDIATAMENTE DESAPARECIERON LAS MARCAS!
dando al lente su apariencia impecable sin ninguna marca.
Y ahora tengo un lente en perfectas condiciones.
Por cierto, el kit mostrado al final, son extractores de tornillo? Si es así donde se consiguen?
Un Saludo desde Durango México. 👍🏻Va mi like

Hola Juan, gracias por tu comentario y like. Si las babas son potentes para limpiar, seguramente las enzimas y ácidos que se encuentran en ella. Para el kit de extracción de tornillos, lo encontré en internet, no o recuerdo dónde, mi criterio de búsqueda fue que tuviera extractores pequeños. Pero ahora con la experiencia te puedo decir que ese kit no es tan bueno. Lo mejor es taladrar el tornillo y rehacer el agujero. Obviamente, la mejor solución es utilizar los buenos destornilladores, tener cuidado y evitar arruinar las cabezas de los tornillos. También cuando una cabeza de tornillo este arruinada, remplazar el tornillo. Un saludo.

I have similar rubber tools, are yours able to get a good friction grip on metal lens retainers ? I find mine is very slippery and doesn’t turn. Is there a way to make it get a better grip ? Thanks

[@diyextravaganza]

Hello Pablo, I have had 100% success with them. Igenerally pile them together so they become stiffer. Also, sometimes, I use a double sided tape (sticky on both sides) if I have much trouble. Don't forget to clean them with warm water from time to time. Cheers !

Hello! What kind of grease do you use? I didn't understand it (my fault) ;-)
