Thanks for the video. Very clear and helpful. I am purchasing the rear bayonet ring mount for my Nikon 18-55 mm lens but wanted to make sure I could do the job before I purchase. Your video convinced me that I can.
Ahh I got too aggressive trying to change this mount ring out. Now the wire is not connected 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ can you guide me in the direction to try to re-sauter the wire back on or am I fully screwed?
Great video and very helpful, I had an issue with the new mount binding against the aperture ring and preventing it from returning freely. Had to scrape away some of the plastic in the groove in order for it to snap back. Other than that it went well and lens as good as new. Thanks again for posting this video.
Hi tried to open my Nikon 35mm 1.8G because it's failing focusing, but i rounded one of the two screws of the contact. How could I remove this dammed screw without broke the contact? :S. BTW excellent video!
Im unable to take photos with 18-55mm lens in D5300 but all other lens are working alright. auto focus my 18-55 mm lens is not working. What should I do?
Interesting video but absolutely NOT Phillips screws. You will likely wreck the screws if you use a Phillips. They are JIS screws (Japanese Industrial Standard)
Genreally, shroud is the correct name. However, here's a link to the "rear replacement part" on Ebay.....www.ebay.com/itm/Nikon-Nikkor-18-55mm-G-VR-Lens-Rear-Cover-Replacement-Part/261965325105?hash=item3cfe59a331:g:aYQAAOSwMmBVotW0
I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to when you say "spring loaded"? There is a black wire attached, and yes, that can be re-soldered. The only thing that should be spring loaded is the aperture control ring with tab. There shouldn't be anything soldered to that ring or spring. I hope that helps.
Mike Zarrett thank you. The black wire is connected to a small connector and it does have a spring. I would have to strip the wire to expose the copper. Not easy.
At 3:28 in the video, you are removing a small part for the wire. This part has a spring. This is where my wire broke. It requires very fine soldering.
