re: Manual focus Nikkor 50mm/1.8

If you fail in the repair attempt, do not despair as these are
available in excellent condition on a regular basis for what the
repair person quoted.

Thanks, I was well aware of that fact. That's why I want to attempt the
repair myself.

Hi

Its so funny!!

I wrote in this regard before.

We are a hobby group dedicated to the REPAIR of mostly classic Nikons.

How easy it is to deviate and buy a cheap item from ebay for the express
purpose of repair avoidance.

I have taken apart a few Nikkor 50mm/1.8, but I usually (like all my
repairs ) go step by step figuring out as I go along.

As I recall you have to take off the rubber grip to get at some screws. I
use a dental pick - or you could use a piece of heavy wire to go around the
rubber to gently loosen it. Be careful cause if it snaps - not good. Remove
a few sunken screws. Then the barrel twists off. At that point there are
many ways to reinstall, but only one is correct. It's a puzzle!!

LOU
