Finally found a video that shows everything on how to disassemble the whole lens. I have Nikon 300mm 2.8 with lots of fungus on it and been looking for some videos here on KZbin. Thank goodness I saw your video, I hope i can do it the same as you did.

[@awardfoto1]

Dit you manage to clean your 2.8 300mm ?

[@olewetdog6254]

I'll just pay this guy. NO WAY I would attempt this and I think of myself as pretty good at this sort of stuff. Wow.

[@sbrazenor2]

I also was about to try and fix/clean mine... I think I might just buy a new/refurbished one instead. 🤣

[@CalebBerg]

Absolutely AMAZING!! Excellent done video! - I'm not gonna try this one, but, if only I'd had these videos for lenses I worked on in the past.

[@joshbunter825]

Thank you, I have been trying to find this level of information for a while. Super helpful and i would be keen for more videos like this.

[@davidfisher7781]

[@chriswilson937]

Hello FotoSun, I have watched your video a number of times getting ready to disassemble and clean this exact lens. I have some haze that needs to be cleaned. But while I have it apart, I also need to replace the M-A ring. Mine is cracked and taped currently. I have the parts and am ready, but since this wasn't one of the repairs you showed, I am curious. Is there any additional disassembly needed to put this new ring on when I get in that far? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for the great video. It's hands down the best one I have found for this lens' tear down.

[@FotoSunMY]

I could not remember it, but as to replace the M-A, it shouldnt be difficult, just few extra screw. Record it, so u will not misplace

[@erenaknc8104]

Thanks to you, I fixed my lens!

[@neilyakuza6595]

Holy that is beyond my skills, I will just send my lens in to you!

[@FotoSunMY]

Hahaha... never try never know

[@GreatWaterCircus]

Brilliant vid and tut... thank you... have you a video on cleaning a 400mm Nikon 3.5 ED ?

[@ruigsantos]

Hi! Great video! Why did you attached the focus group to the front element before inserting them back in instead of putting in one at the time in the reverse order that you took them once, hence not needing the suction cup?

[@petermitruk1203]

Great video perfect explanation step by step 🙂👌 Id like to ask you if you have experience with disassembling and cleaning 300mmf 4 D ed.Thank you in advance

[@FotoSunMY]

No bro

[@donaldshushack1244]

Excellent video. It would be very helpful if you could publish a list of lenses you can clean and the relative prices. Thanks

[@darrenwong25]

Sir, i own a 80-200mm Nikon ED. Lens. Do not know why this lens only can Auto focus at the zoom range of 105mm. I seldom use this lens. And I attached it to my D600 Nikon body. Looking for you advise and thanks.

[@RemilDeVera]

Nice

[@9178855]

[@kiyoshim9593]

no. that glass is really strong

[@ravirajangam9599]

When you put the front element back with the helicoid gear I am curious why you didn't put some helicoid grease in it.

[@MIUNSRV]

Wow...excellent

[@Getoffmycloud53]

Nice video, impressive to watch. Was hoping you could help me with a question regarding the front part of the lens body - it is held with two screws as far as I can tell. One of my screws is missing and now the front is not as tight as it should be. Do you know what size screw is needed to replace the original? I could try and remove the remaining one, but I am afraid this might lead to more problems.

[@Getoffmycloud53]

According to schematics it is a A2-20040fs screw - but try finding that one...

[@lovefood6417]

Could you please make a tutorial about cleaning fungus of Nikon 18-300mm?

[@Helikopterpop]

Optics with that zoomfactor are never good. I guess that you have variable aparture. Sell and buy new ones with smaller zoom factors and you will get sharper pictures with less blackouts. Just a tip:)

[@danc2014]

How does the fungus get inside so deep? the air is pulled in while zooming? How did you clean it with just a wipe? lighter fluid cleaned the lens but what kills the fungus?

[@przemekparzysz3794]

Can You put more movie with diferent lenses please ?

[@drasp]

I’d love to know the specific model of spanner you’re using in the first step of this video. Affiliate link isn’t working. Anyone happen to know?

[@ThePlayonit]

My 80-200 2.8 has a rattling clunking sound when the lens is shaken.. is this normal? Loved the video... thank you!

[@FotoSunMY]

I dont think is normal.

[@MrVikaswadhawan]

Hi. Need advice. Not focussing at infinity. Not even manually. Bought a used one.

[@FotoSunMY]

U need to send to a service center

[@dalagangbukid7441]

Thanks man

[@chainmoray7173]

Hi Fotosun. Great video. I am trying to remove the front element on my lens (the first step in your video) by unscrewing the retaining ring, but I appear to be turning the whole group rather than just the ring itself. (I am holding the focus ring while attempting this) I thing the retaining ring is stuck in its thread - do you have any tips on how to free this up?

[@FotoSunMY]

Try dripping some lubricant oil or WD40.. just few drops. After a while, try it. Or use a heat gun or hairdryer to heat up the ring. CoZ some ring are being gel together and the heat will help softer it

[@chainmoray7173]

@@FotoSunMY Thank you - I will give it a try

[@homeassisttips261]

Same thing happened to me.

[@sergeyv83]

After reassembling everything now my focus ring doesn’t always engage in M I believe there is an issue with the pins and also in AF it won’t work at all, i can hear the motor spinning but doesn’t do anything. Any help?

[@adityadarmawan778]

Hi there, I've lost my front element of this lens. The optical glass that you took out first when you disassembled this lens. Can you help me where can I buy one of those? Thankyou

[@FotoSunMY]

Try ebay

[@Pentax67]

Oh my god ...! You are so brave ! It seems extremely hard . So much fungus !!!! I have a bag of Canon lenses they are infested with fungus (mostly cheap zoom 80-300 , 17-50 or so) I wanna throw it but now I think maybe I can sell 6 lenses for like 20$ maybe some one like you can clean

[@FotoSunMY]

U can do a garage sales on ebay !

[@johnchua5778]

How do I remove the focus group glass without dissamble all? The second layer of front glass

[@tagagrande4095]

No wonder its very expensive to have telephoto lens cleaned from fungus. Its better to buy those dry box for lens storage.

[@larrykillough7305]

Any advice on next newest model. The AFS with motor drive compared to this model?

[@FotoSunMY]

New version is much better

[@ashrafulalam166]

Where is ur shop in malaysia? How much does it cost 70-300mm for removing fungus?

[@DejanMaleticDexter]

What is the price of replacing the manual focus ring with two metal plates? On my lens AF/M switch doesn't work every time and sometimes it slips.

[@charakarasanga8465]

Is it ok to remove the front part without removing other components? the outer front part that has the focusing scale and name plate.

[@FotoSunMY]

Yes. U can

[@charakarasanga8465]

@@FotoSunMY thanks

[@hungrycamperfilms]

My d-ring doesn't move the aperture. What's wrong? I can't see any place that metal plate should attach so that it could move the aperture? AF-S D model.

[@neilyakuza6595]

I would like to get my Tokina 80-200 ATX F2.8 cleaned there is haze in it. I am from Canada. What is the cost for the cleaning. Thank you.

[@FotoSunMY]

The shipping alone will be too costly

[@Greg-tj8rg]

Nice video. Do you have any for fixing an auto focus that is non functioning? Would that just be taking it apart and realigning everything properly? I read someone claim that if the auto focus was not working and you just used the manual focus then the manual focus would soon stop working as well.

[@FotoSunMY]

This is a screw driven AF, so no motor on the lens. If the lens is with AF motor, then replace the AF motor is the only option

[@Greg-tj8rg]

@@FotoSunMY Oh right. Could you think of anything that would make the AF not work but the MF work on this camera? I guess the screw being damaged or something

[@paulgoodall_]

@@Greg-tj8rg I'm having to same problem now with this lens. Worked fine, then when I tried using it recently, no autofocus. Tried manual focus ring and that wouldn't work either. It just spins quite loosely and make a slight grating or crunching sound. Does yours do this?

[@cesargabrielgomez9540]

@@paulgoodall_ I have the same problem. When I look down to the lens, it looks like if it's loose. And makes a grinding and screeching noise when I try autofocus. Manual focus doesn't work either. Hopefully we can get an answer

[@matskay1971]

I have an exact problem with the 80-200 D screwdriver lens . The autofocus works intermittently. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But manual focus works fine. What could be the problem . Does anyone here know a fix for this problem . Many thanks in advance.

Hi do you do repairs on Lens? I have a Nikon 80-200 D that need a new Aperture Ring..I tiny piece has broken off giving me an error when taking pics. I can fix it by adding a piece of tape but does not hold. Thanks bob

Yes. We do

[@jessicacattoni7398]

@@FotoSunMY I have this exact lens, and already sent it to a local shop to get fixed, but they said it was not possible. Can that be true? O Is it probably just too much work for them? And in if so, how could I send it to you? I think the phone number in your description needs an Area code too.

[@stephanehgnr268]

Hello, pity that you have benefited from the complete disassembly to show how to disassemble the autofocus ring Manual / Automatic. Indeed, on this lens model this ring is the weak point and it breaks often, or the screw that holds the spring button, passes through the ring (this is my case). But congratulations for the work and the video.

[@Magitorhacker]

Have you found disassembly tutorial, or any solution? I have the same problem, and no luck at the google-fu.

[@stephanehgnr268]

I draw a part to put a new screw a little more long. I print the part on my printer 3d. It work very well. The button refind his function and the ring stay in place.

[@Magitorhacker]

​@@stephanehgnr268Great, i had the same idea. It is correct, that the screw is an M1.6?

My front lens doesn’t come off at all with that lens tool. When I get to the second part of dismantling, from the rear, the small phillip screws got ruined. 2 are stuck and that middle lens doesn’t even wiggle loose. I can’t get the tripod ring off either. I think I will end up throwing mine away…
