Many years ago, I had an SLR lens which I needed to remove the mount to do some work. Well, I got the other screws out (I think it had four altogether) but the last was very tight and unscrewing had been attempted before, so the head starting stripping. I got it out far enough before it wouldn't turn at all, and took some needlenose to remove the screw and the screw snapped off at the base of the lens where it screwed in. Upshot was that when the lens went back together it was sans one screw since I couldn't get the shank out and it was uneconomical to get anyone else to do it. I don't think I used it much, but didn't see any difference in images when I did, either. |
