Sometimes you wonder how professional photographers unscrew everything so quickly, shoot, take out a new lens and take pictures again in a matter of seconds. Army training in the collection / disassembly of a machine gun immediately comes to mind. The movements are perfected and verified. Well, for those who are holding a camera with a lens in their hands for the first time and do not know where to start, a couple of tips on how to remove the lens without breaking the camera will come in handy.
Instructions
Step 1
Act according to the principle: you unscrew everything that is unscrewed. Remove the front metal rings holding the lens. Then, while gently squeezing the outer cup, pry off the lens base and pull it towards you.
Step 2
There is another “last resort” method, but it is truly cruel. It is used when the camera got into a small "accident", which resulted in the lens jamming, which now cannot be removed on its own. In this case, you will have to specially make a crack that can be widened with a screwdriver so that the lens can be pryed off and removed with something.
Step 3
Remove the lens with needles. This is a jewelry way because you have to be very careful. The camera has a small ring with paws (clips) on the side where the matrix was. Insert three sewing needles evenly under these feet and twist gently as if you were opening the clamps. The lens should detach.
Step 4
The safest way to remove a lens is with a bayonet mount. In general, this word comes from the English language and means a bayonet connection, that is, a special type of lens attachment to the camera. With it, you can quickly and easily both put the lens on the camera and remove it.
Step 5
The lens is attached using a mechanical mount, but modern bayonet connections can also accommodate electrical connectors. And we must not forget that all companies use their own design bayonet, and it will not fit a camera of another company. But if you have chosen a mount for your camera, then now you will have no problems with how to remove the lens correctly and quickly.
