I used a normal drill and mounted on a 1cm cylinder grinding stone - worked well. The end result is fantastic.

Thanks Gutta - i wasn't referring to the black screws, but the other screws - of which you are to remove 3 out of 4. Two of these are situated together. I was removing the wrong one - you have to remove the one on the left when the lens is pointed down. Well its all done now and from the testing so far has worked well. It's funny I was thinking of buying this lens and using it as best as I can with a K1, but now after the mod I have a brilliant DA* full frame lens which I can also use in APS-C mode taking me even further (i.e. I understand this is just cropping) but nonetheless it feels like I have two telephoto zoom lenses now, and not too expensively (9050 SKr new). I have not owned a DA* lens yet, so I'm enjoying that greatly. Also have the 28-105 HD lens and wondering when I find out about a teleconverter which will work with both....

Ok I see now - when there are two screws together - you remove the left screw not the right.... removed now - mine has pretty solid looking clear glue attaching the baffle - I don't think I can just remove - I think I have to dremmel it away now - scarey - is there a replacement part if it goes wrong and if so, how much does it cost ?

How do you lift out the tube once you've unscrewed the two black screws and three chrome screws (i.e. I'm unscrewing those furthest away from the front of the lens) but don't know how to get the tube out....?
