Sorry don't know where to post this.
Came across this 24-105L disassembly video

That is quite interesting as it gives a good insight into how many parts go into a modern lens and how tight the tolerances must be.

Thanks for posting!

Pretty chaotic way of taking it to pieces.

Woe Certainly got a few screws loose literally :bonk:
Noticed the film ran in reverse for re assembly rather than a proper reassemble

Certainly had difficulty with the final section didnt he

I hope that was kancked or that was a waste of a good lens, they could have given it to me.haha

I wonder if he got it back together again....

or was it just an expensive video

 

[Matblack]

Right, now lets see him put it back together again

That's actually a very interesting video. It's amazing just how many bits go to make up a lens!

If that pencil holder goes in eBay. I'm sure it will be extremely popular and sell for a pretty high price. I for sure will bid it!

If you read the comments the lens has knackered and not repairable and still sits on his desk and is not for sale.

Extreme Recycling

You could make a very nice kitchen utensil holder out of your 500mm Cedric
