Can't seem to unscrew mine and i don't want to spend 50usd to get it cleaned, or 30usd to get a spanner ill only use one time. Hahaha.

Very good solution!!! Thanks!!!

Thank you so much, you're a life saver 😊

I bought the correct lens spanner for cheap on Ebay. I also got a suction cup used for repairing mobile phone screens. I also leave lenses out in the sun or use a uv torch I got for few pounds on Ebay to kill fungus.

Thanks God you did not use scrwdrivers, spaners hammers and so on…lol. To clean my glass lenses I use the blue liquid for window glass that I always find in the cabinet under the sink. I works perfectly. Your advices will help. Take care of you you are so cute. Thanks Lizzie

My old 70-300 AF lens had a big speck inside it, which made it unsaleable. But I couldn’t work out how to get the end off. You solved the problem for me- thank you!

Just found you and this is exactly what I need. I will give it a go.

I've cleaned worse lenses with hydrogen peroxide. It works great at removing mold from the glass.

Nice prez thanks. I’ll read up on it further. Couple of questions - I use APS-C so do I have to convert the focal length to the full frame 35mm equivalent? Can you select from more than one camera - notice the camera was in settings. BTW noticed your carrier was Optus - we lived in Sydney from 1992-94 and I was on the Optus team then.

Cheers Lizzie, you've convinced me! Hi from North Yorkshire England.

Thank you i had a 70 -300 vr nikon lenses, small mold was there from 7 years now, cleaned it just now and laughed for 5 min coz it was this simple and i scratched my head 1000 times before, thank you so much

I'm facing the same problem with my Nikon 24-120mm f4 after getting caught in heavy rain hopefully I won't break it 😊

You have plenty of courage to attempt that job, Lizzie. Well done.

Great and easy video to follow Sometimes if left too long the fungus can actually eat into the lens coating or even the glass

Nice, made it look easy!..

Hello Lizzie (Belgium here) I am so happy to have find you and I will follow as well -:)

Thank you so much for this lens cleaning remedy. It's so helpful because i really love my telephoto lens also a Nikon 70-300mm VR.

I cleaned the front element on my Nikon 70-300 AF-S. The lens had the ring bonded to it but I needed a tool (an adjustable caliper) to remove it as it was quite tight. I used Isopropyl Alchohol to remove the fungus and this cleaned the lens nicely. I know I can remove the lens again in the future, if needed.

I love you

Nice work - couple of tips - 1 Watchmaker's finger cots - these and little rubber things which just cover your fingertips - saves the whole oil contamination issue 2 Hydrogen peroxide nice safe sterilising solution.

Even if you can't see any mould inside anymore after cleaning, there could still be active spores inside. These might start a new colony of mould after some time. I never had to try it, but inactivating the spores by ultraviolet light or by hydrogenperoxide seems like a good idea to me. Some research on the topic might be useful before actually starting, though.

I tried so many times it didn't work

You are very brave. Gotta do test shots now. Thank you.

Awesome ❤ video

Thanks simple information

Mine did not open either. May be the attempt to open it before may have loosen it a bit.

will the cleaning fluid damage the special coating on nikon lens? can't fungus be removed by just dry wiping it?

Try 3% hydrogen peroxide or even lighter fluid. Much better cleaner than those lens cleaning solutions.

Очень помогло ваше видео) вы молодец😇🐱

Lens is compose of two lens, mine is in between on both lens

How to clean if the mold is in between the lens

Thank you for the good video. Appreciated.

Did anyone see what the lens is?

Thanks! Try soaking the element in hydrogen peroxide for 5 mins, rinse dry, job done

Mine didn't pop =/ nikkor 55-200 from D3200 kit. Do you have to unscrew the little side screws before twisting it with your fingers?

It's so easy after you explained. The lens came out easily and is now clean. Thank you very much

That was a nice way to pop the lens out.

That was super useful. I have exactly same lens, had developed mold on the inner surface of the front lens.

Hi! I just tried and couldn’t open it😢.

Thank you so much 😊! I just needed that type of video. I am going to try it. I have a Nikon 5200D and the lenses have mold 😢.

You can add Milky Way in PS in a heartbeat, but this is more fun! :D

Your video is not a complete fail. After watching your step-by-step disassembly, I was able to remove both actuators from my Sony Alpha & Carl Zeis logo’d Lens Cap from my F2.8 SAL2470Z lens and replaced them with new replacement actuators with tension mechanism in tact. This allowed me to preserve the Alpha & Zeiss logo’d cap for use. Before I watched your video, I was struggling with removing the actuating retainer clips and would have simply ended up using the Sony Alpha Logo’d cap I purchased as a replacement. Original Sony cap with both “Alpha & Zeis” logos: ?? (Used $60USD) Replacement Sony cap with “Alpha” logo: ALC-F77A (New $25USD) Replacement Sony cap with “Sony” logo: ALC-F77S (New $25USD) When I find time, I plan to modify the new Alpha cap to use one or two metal springs between them for tension. I enjoyed listening to your accent as a bonus Thank you. Mobile, Alabama USA

I was about to try this. Thanks for this video.

Thumbs up for the cat. Nice content as well.

Ahah it is exactly what happened to me this night, exactly the same steps, except that I also went further adding tons of glue on the broken plastic arms and curing it with baking soda, which immediately form an hard rough plastic. Then I was able to reassemble it without issues but pressing the sides the "tons of glue" broke anyway... So next try will be with hot glue, which is more elastic and gives more time for repositioning.

Greta video! Thanks

Awesome. Took me back. 😁

D5600 has 39 focus point

Nice video Lizz , may I suggest that a trip though the Simpson Desert would be good !,
