Cool.

So where are the "after" pics showing how you put it all back together so it was fully functional?

i managed to snap the cable that controls the aperture bit
not being a canon tech i didnt know the right way to get it out and broke the cable

so it wont be fully functional ever again

Man I could have fixed that for around 7.00

That is a depressing series of photos. I hope to never see the insides of my lenses like this.

OWCH! How about some close ups of the elements hehe

Was that the kit lens one for the Original Rebels? That lens was such crap.

You did get me scared though, I thought when I read the title you wrecked the 28-80 Monster L and that would be such a shame.

You know whats real fun to do... Put all that back together take it to a camera shop you hate and sale it to them. It's a fast crappy way of getting 20.00 lol

CJM - its a 28-80 f3.5-5.6 II - it came off my Eos 300 FILM camera - its about 7 or 8 years old

RCreevesphotography - if i knew how to get to the Aperture assembly without breaking the cable before i broke the cable i could have fixed it for free.

jcw122 - give me a couple of days and ill do a few more shots of the little bits close up

RCreevesphotography - no i wont be doing that, i like most of the camera shops in my area that deal in second hand gear, i may have to go and visit one to replace this lens though (either that or get a 24-70 L when i can find the money)

Amazing! i love to see the inside of things, this is great thanks
