p.1 #7 · p.1 #7 · Repair options for 28-70L with fogged glue between cemented elements? | |
I have disassembled a 24-105L and a 17-40L before, so I assume that the 28-70 is somewhat similar. It's by no means impossible; there are some decent Youtube videos on the subject; however, it's going to take a while (a day? two days? more?) and there is a very real chance of bricking the lens. Cleaning the interior of the lens, replacing an loose screw, or something to that effect is one thing. Actually replacing or re-bonding lens elements... I'd be wary about my abilities, but yours may differ.
My advice is only take it apart if you are comfortable with the prospect of having to sell it for parts. Which is not that bad -- you could probably get $200-300, perhaps up to $400, on Ebay.
