Camera Surgery Thread - add your dissections here

I wanted to dig into my 1D2 but after taking part of the top off I grew very wary of it making it's way back together haha. I do have an old 28-80 (non L) I've taken apart to make a tilt-shift.

Yep, reassembly is another story. You have to document and draw pictures.

You have to hand it to Canon...the intricate engineering process is admirable.

A tiltshift?! Enlighten us all

Very cool! Now put everything in a box and send it to Canon asking how much it'll cost to repair!

This thread makes me feel uncomfortable lol. Cool pics

very interesting, don't take apart the 5D

I did a partial disassembly of a 5D a couple years back:

I also disassembled and re-assembled a Canon EF 35-80mm lens, but I don't have pictures of it.

looks like the kind of thing my son used to do when he was between 3-5 years old. only question I have is, how big was the hammer you used to get to that point? LOL

Now put it back together!

Think you need to remove 300D from your signature.

The horror... the horror.

just waiting for the shots of my 7D disection to develop.

A bit of a blurb with pictures of my 1D MK II getting a new shutter & IR conversion Here

Awesome work, Joeseph ! I would never dare disassemble completely a 1-D series body, I'm sure i wouldn't be able to reassemble it afterwards.

Ive seen someone do a 1 series before, frightening to watch thats for sure.

^^I remember this thread, it was showing the complete disassembly of the pentaprism of a 1DIV, right ? Chilling pics !
