The simplest method is to scribe reference/datum lines across various areas before starting to unscrew - on some lenses setting the focus ring to either max or min focus, before removing the inner barrel, is important. If you are experienced, it is possible to just gently unscrew until the point of separation is found - you then mark both parts with a reference line before finally fully separating the two pieces. On many lenses it is possible to make use of the depth of field and focus scale engravings as reference points, anything that lets you align the components correctly on reassembly will do. |
