Then and than aren’t even homophones!
It doesn’t really look like Montezuma Wildlife Refuge 2013 either.

To answer the question you asked, start by unscrewing from the lens mount itself. If all the optical elements are fixed together, you should be able to tell from looking at it from there. From there, just work your way down with whatever screws are visible, focusing as needed to bring stuff closer or further. If you don’t see any, poke a tiny screwdriver into any holes and feel if it’s a screw. They often don’t have heads. If you still don’t see anything, just try twisting stuff. If you see flat plastic with circuit board style metal in it, those usually aren’t glued and pull right out.

Autofocus lenses are a bit trickier to take apart, so you probably can’t do it the way he did. I also never got this to work very well.
Clearly it works better when all the lens elements are together tight and compactly, the one I was using is about 2″ deep which is so very poorly suited to this.
So, you know, look up the diagram for your lens online and see if all the elements are together.
Then, get an idea of how far infinity focus is from its closest focus. Think long and hard about how practical that is for this. Canon’s 50mm f/1.8 moves like this [___] much, which is not so practical.

youtube is full of videos of people taking apart 50mm lenses, which should help, even if you don’t find your lens on there.
Lens-makers love using super tiny, headless screws, so work in a tray or something to catch them before your carpet does.

At least accept condolences on the jeep.

Don’t listen to him 4th post. You’re beautiful.

The results are pretty funny so far.
I think they’re going to come crawling back now that the Blackhawks’ victory photos comparison is up. I never gave it thought, but the quality of the photos adds a lot to the sense of trustworthiness and journalistic professionalism. They look like they should be telling me why major cosmetic firms hate this lady.

Here. I checked the Exif, didn’t see luck attributed to me. That should help you take care of that.

Yowza.

If I do my job in the field, I may be pissed because someone else screws it up, but I know that I did my job right.

That’ll be cold comfort when you feel lineman’s pliers on your distal phalanges and hear the grave mutterings urging the unspeakable from the gathered, revenge-seeking subjects.
