Hi.

I received a Nikkor 24mm f2.8 and wasn't able to mount it on 5D MkII because there was a protruding part hitting the electronic contacts.
after having checked around that this metallic part was not absolutely necessary for the lens to work on Nikon MF bodies, I decided to try to service it.
I read a lot of very good comments about this wide lens and I want a good wide lens for my 5D.

It has been very easy to do and took me 10 minutes max.

1- the lens




2- the protruding part




3- Operation
I protected the back of the lens


and then cut it with a precision saw


4- Done. Result

Nicely done,I must admit it looked scary when you had the saw next to the lens. Smile Looking at the images it was worth the effort. Cool

Yes it was Worth it.
I was very precautious with the saw. Cool
