    • Remove small axis with a pair of good pliers. The axis needs to be removed as otherwise the zoom lens will not come off easily

    • Last picture shows the assembly with zoom lens still on.

    • When lifting the zoom lens, the stabilizer lens will swing up. Remember this upon assembly, as you will have to move it back (down) again

    • Lift the lens barrel out by pushing slightly from the front

    • Unhook the inner control ring as shown. The spudger needs almost no force and the ring springs out

    • The inner ring can be lifted out. It has three guides with different shape, so fitting back in is possible without a marking

    • Here´s a overview of all the parts we´ve got.

    • I really cannot work out how to correctly operate the crop tool...

    • Putting back together isn´t much more difficult, and would have worked in my case if not for the charged capacitor and a non-isolated screwdriver, but that´s a different story.
