Hi,
On the first lens I wanted to do (the cheapest of the bunch; I figured I'd
work in order of price, so I'd have more experience when starting on the
higher priced ones) I tried the rubber approach (which I had used
successfully on the Tokina zoom I mentioned), but not a chance with this
one - whoever screwed in the ring fastened it very tightly. It was only
after trying vereything else that I could think of that I came to the
conclusion that this time I'd not be able to avoid getting a spanner
wrench.
I see...
I hope the spanner wrench will do the job for you then for the lenses for
which the "rubber-approach" doesn't work...
It's not urgent; though; I'll take my time trying to find one locally and
following up on some of the tips I got in this thread.
Well, as you already said, not a whole lot of damage can be done (as the
lenses are not very useable because of the dirt anyway, right?), and not too
big "monetary investments" would be lost if it goes wrong, so you might as
well give it a shot...! :)
Thanks again to all who helped; and special thanks to you, Olafo, for
taking the time to do the translation of Jaap's advice (I do translations
for a living, so I know it's a time-consuming work).
Don't worry, you're most welcome. I don't mind doing the translations, I'm
glad I could be of some help :)
Cheers!
Olafo
