You''re welcome
PS apropos that video I would comment:
1. always have a white cloth/sheet on the table. Otherwise you will soon learn the hard way as a vital screw skitters off never to be found again.
2. always have pen and paper to make quick notes. Even simple things like what way up a ring or shim goes, as well as vital things like element orientation. Potentially saves a lot of time and trouble.. And a black pen of the type for writing on CD's to mark the edges of more symmetrical elements with eg an arrow.
3. dont have the habit of handling the glass with your hands. Have gloves and micro-porous cloths handy for that.
4. Rear caps make good pots for eg bayonet screws. Best not to mix screws up, separate and label (though with a simple lens like the 50mm its not usually a problem).
