I think it just threads on but you'll have to ask someone that has one. Greg Post Extras:       Emanuele Lord Pentaxian Reged: 11/19/03 Posts: 4158 Loc: Miami, Florida Re: 900nc lens removal?

[Re: Emanuele]       #1109833 - 08/23/06 11:29 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Emanuele, just picked up mine too... all u gotta do is use a small screwdriver (real thin) to separate the lens ring from the body of the spc..i had to use some force but it popped out ! Dont worry if you chip the camera's body a bit, she wont mind! :-) Once u have the ring removed, the lens should screw off easily. Screw the mogg in its place and u're good to go! let me know if u need extra help! -------------------- Ad Astra Per Aspera Cyprus Astronomical Society www.cyprusastronomy.com Post Extras:       Emanuele Lord Pentaxian Reged: 11/19/03 Posts: 4158 Loc: Miami, Florida Re: 900nc lens removal?
