Last summer I dropped one of my favorite old lenses: My trust 50mm f1.8 EF lens. Now, it was a cheap lens when I bought it (sub-$100!), and I bought it as a senior in high school. So I’ve gotten my money’s worth. But I certainly didn’t want to buy a new one, since I’m doing this trip on the cheap. Or, at least, trying not to spend more money than absolutely necessary. So, after several months on my desk in a couple of pieces, I decided to fix it! In actuality, it wasn’t too bad! Took me a while to understand a couple of tricks about how to get the lens elements out of the casing, but with a little help from the Internet, it’s working like new! Now on to my old 20-35mm lens… Maybe I can fix that one too! (I’ll update you this weekend if I get it back together again – it’s in progress)
