Default How to disassemble a 24-105L in 3 minutes...
Just found this. It would be fun to take it apart. But I would not want to put it back together...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9y-Bt-gv90

My guess is it already is a dead lens. He obviously has no intentions to put it back together when he is pulling stuff out with pliers. Your right digirebelva there is a ton of perts in these things!

As someone commented on the video, the last shot is of the coffee mug, not the lens itself

If you read the comments at youtube, the lens was dead prior to the autopsy.

Would love to try that on a dead lens sometime - convert a 24-70L into a pen holder!
