Read it carefully, it says focus is not good, and calls it a "2.8" while all the images are for the 1.8.

Have you tried boiling the elements apart? Perhaps boiling them in methylated spirits with a lower boiling point [caution: do in well ventilated area on an electric stove top or you may blow the elements apart]

@dcshooter I'm afraid to ask with this thread having gone silent, what the results may have been. Any news?

I'm joining the discussion, I can't wait to read what's the outcome!

you will have to wait in suspense as DCShooter is on vacation

last I heard he was slowly separating the front elements ....... a slow process.

An angle grinder would do the job as long as putting it back together isn't a priority!

J/K...just interested in finding out whether this ever sees action again.

@dcshooter I haven't forgotten about this thread. Did you ever get things separated, or was it a lost cause?
