I found myself cringeing all the way through it. I had seen enough by half way through and stopped watching -- lol.

Dang! Such professional work. And then put it up on youtube as an how to. Ugh! :-)

I watched until he finally got that ring off. Then I got sick and gave up watching. :-)

Cheers.

Love the band-aid. Biggest hint ever.

In order to take the lens out he has to "sacrifice the exterior"...? It's trashed...

"The glass is perfectly fine" he says while holding the glass element in his uncovered hand.

He uses "A little bit force" wa-a-ay too often...

Too bad he has an M50mm f1.4...

"And to dust you shall return."

Ron, it's a video tutorial of the highest quality. I suggest you validate that by using his knowledge so selflessly imparted to you, and go clean your FA* 400mm f5.6 at once! It must be filthy. And don't forget your rocket blower and scissors.

Its the optics equivalent of a snuff flick.

I was sure he was going to cut his fingers off.... if only.

Most photographers haven't got a clue. They take the dry, dirty "lens" cloth out of their pocket they got free when they bought their camera and swirl it in circles around a lens. They deserve the scratches.
 
By the time he got the nameplate off i was speechless... that was beyond stupid, if you have a dent in the ring you deal with that before you try to take the name plate off

I value your opinion, of course, but I think he is the expert... at destroying lenses.

But it was like a traffic accident. I knew I should look away. I didn't want to see the horror. But I couldn't help but watch a little longer. The creaking of the threads was like the screams of the injured. I had to stop after the second set of scissor wounds was inflicted.
 
That was like watching a thrash and slash flick. Dang that was ugly and scary. YIKES!

I know I was waiting for the blood too. I guess the mangled lens was enough collateral damage.
 
Look, aren't you Guys being over-critical ?

I admire what he achieved with tools that just came to hand !

Heck, I had to sharpen my needlenose pliers to get in as deep as that chap.

The production values are better than 50% of destructables on youtub

The object is in view and it has no music thank God

Funny...I kept thinking of the mean kid from the movie "Toy Story" having fun destroying nice innocent toys. This guy clearly wasn't mean, but the outcome was similar, a nice innocent object getting mindlessly mutilated. I was cringing the whole time...watched the whole video.
