Many times I've needed to disassemble an eyepiece or large lens. Typically lenses are held in place by a threaded retaining ring that has perpendicular slots for the tool that is used to install/remove them. Anybody know what the tool is called and where they can be purchased.
Thanks, Bill

Thanky edz...I'll go to their web site. This will be better than me using an angled screw driver blade against one of the slots as I have done in the past. LOL

That rings true as I've used many a spanner wrench working on motorcycles, cars etc. Don't think they'd help me on my lenses.hehehe Hopefully Edmunds offers "Pin" wrenches.
