Could try a ring of blue tack around filter, stick it to kitchen worktop and unscrew lens off filter?

Thanks John, I'll have a go at that.

But...

I did this version very quickly to show the principle and getting that far took about 15 seconds so over to you to have a go!
That's just showing off!

That sounds like a great plan.
I need to get to the aperture lever, just behind the lens mount, and would really rather find a way in from the front so I don't have to touch the PCBs etc.

Usualy the close ups would be what I'd go for.
But, number 5 really works for me. A Lancaster over English countryside...very evocative!

A nice catch Mike. Now you will need a camel to carry it.

I'm sure we will see some stellar images in the near future.

Well, it is, near as damn it, a telescope!
Looking forward to seeing some shots from it!

No great hurry, it'll probably take me a few months to get round to doing it anyway.
Don't know if mine can be fixed, but I want to know what I'm getting into with a really bust one first. I've had a look at the plans and it looks a nightmare to strip down.

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a "beyond economic repair" K10d going spare.
I need one to practice on before trying to strip mine down to repair it. Don't want to make a pig's ear of mine and then find I can't get it back together!

The fact that it is a "whole lot of nothing" is what makes this image IMHO. Cheers, Kris.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Excellent shot!
