Could anyone help with advice on removing the rear cell on a canon FD lens (bayonet type)
I'm struggling to remove the rear cell/element from my 135 f2, not sure what, if any, special tool I should get to help. |

I finally shifted it! I used a 3inch piece of plastic plumbing waste pipe that was a snug fit over the cell, although tight it still didn't give enough purchase/grip to unscrew the thing,I then put a bit of gaffer tape around the cell and tried again. eventually it worked (not straight away, but it was worth persevering)
I hope this may help someone else in the future.
The cell has a conventional thread (unscrews anticlockwise) at one point I was beginning to wonder. |
