Disassembly of a Zoom Lens

When fredmiranda.com forum user sbv20 found himself with a broken Canon 17-85 mm zoom lens after the aperture became stuck he decided to have a little bit of fun: he took it apart!

And thankfully, he documented his disassembly of the zoom lens for all of us to see: Link - via Gizmodo


Wow. That's quite fascinating. I've been thinking of getting a better lens for my camera. Neat to see that so many pieces exist in that thing.

Not THAT is neato! I'm amazed at how little glass is actually involved in one of those things. I guess he didn't actually pry apart all the lens elements.
