Canon EFS 18-55mm lens rebuild

I rebuilt my sister-in-law’s Canon EFS 18-55mm autofocus lens which had a bad run-in with a tree. I suspect the tree was OK, but the lens wasn’t quite as happy. It was ‘bent’ to one side, and couldn’t zoom or focus at all. It turned out that it was off the plastic ‘tracks’ inside. The surgery was a success and it is back in use today. The only casualty (besides some hair-raising moments) was that the manual focus component stopped working- I damaged or didn’t reassemble the “clutch” correctly.

Site update

Looks like I deleted some of the photos from previous posts. I’ll try to recover those, sorry.

Look for a few more posts on this site.

Also, our family blog has some more tech-related posts.
