    👍Thanks for video. Some good tips, thanks. I made my own rubber lens wrench by putting some Blu Tack around the the rim of a pill bottle lid. Worked just fine.

    Hi Ash, long time, no hear. I hope you're okay and hopefully just taking a sabbatical. I'm really missing your vlogs and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Take care.

    Hi, is there any washer or ring that would make the lens airtight? Because my friend have this lens with an excellent exterior condition, but have some dust in the interior, (imo, there are alot of dust)
