Yesterday I started looking at my broken Canon FD 200mm F4 Macro lens and decided to try and take it apart. Disassembly without manual of such a delicate lens is not recomended but I had no choice. Had to fix the aperture.
I have searched everywere for a manual or even pictures on how to do this but found nothing.
Bummer!

I went for it anyways and did take a bunch of pictures while doing it, even though I missed a couple of shots and then uploaded the shots to my smugmug site together with brief instructions.

If anyone else stumbles upon this lens and wants to give it a go or just have a peek inside go to this link:

Its not complete and the instructions are not the best but its a whole lot more then there were before. Enjoy.

Btw.
I also have similar photos of a Tokina AT-X 35-200mm f3.5-4.5 lens at the same place.
