Got my 55-250 lens mount replacement yesterday

made a guess and went with the 2.3mm thick one

gonna try fixing it tomorrow if i get a chance, hope it works

[kurpal_v2]

^^ I clean forget to pm you to find out if the mount on the 18-55non-is would have worked.


I found a non working one I could have taken apart for you.

[ShIvAm]

im not entirely sure if it would work but from what i see, the major difference between the two is the long tube like shaft the mount is standing on in the pic i posted

who knows, it may work...

[kurpal_v2]

If this one you bought don't work shoot me a pm.


Just outta curiosity doh, what did it cost landed? I wanna bring a small plastic piece like that in but idk what my skybox might charge me

[ShIvAm]

Yea man, for sure....

it cost $43 to clear and everything came up to $215. It was listed at $21 USD

if this mount works i might order another just in case

[cornfused]

[ShIvAm]

Came across this great deal on amazon, lowest price ever for a Canon T4i, same price for body only or 18-55mm lens, thought I'd share it with you guys.

$600 was $740 yesterday

Success! The mount fits perfect

Took me a lil under 10 mins to change. Only tool i used was a 2.0mm Phillips Screwdriver and it was rly straight forward. 6 screws in all had to be removed. 4 screws around the circumference of the lens and 2 smaller ones that screw onto the mount itself to hold the copper contacts in place.



Broken Mount out





New Mount Fitted and it sits flush. I damaged this one screw just a tiny bit tho



This is one of the smaller screws that held the contacts in place



Sample pic i took this evening, works like new

Nice Shivam! Glad to see it fixed!
Guys, what's a good flash light I can use that I can use with my flash to have more than one source of light. The ones I tried from home don't appear to light up the subject as well as the flash so it just looks uneven.

[Trini Hookah]

Not sure about flashlight, but what I used to use was removed the shade from my desklamp and it would illuminate the entire subject evenly rather than a "spotlight" effect.

After exams I really have to put my Tele to some use yes :/

[DVSTT]

I don't have a desk lamp lolz. Will try a bulb on an extension cord though

If I had to I'd use a maglight so I could vary the beam of light

you have to be careful with those screws, they usually require a japanese type phillips screwdriver(JIS), a little different to regular phillips

What camera gear you guys getting for Christmas? I am salting it out this year.... no new toys

Moody is supposed to be a good brand,
for allen drivers the MIP are very good also.

yea they look of high quality

judging from this pic you think the damages to the screw would make it difficult if i have to remove it again? or would the JIS screw driver have enough leverage?

[pugboy]

it does not look very damaged, the jis should work
they look similar but there is a big difference between the jis and regular esp with smaller screws

[ShIvAm]

yea i was reading up on them... was worrying that it might give me some trouble to take out if i ever break the mount again.

i'll buy the Moody set in January

[lighthammer]

but how everybody taking pictures of christmas trees and posting it on here..... is a bokeh competition awatt??


I just found back my trusty ol' Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF-D.. it was lost for a lil while (ended up in one of the luggage bags after a trip abroad earlier this year).


So, for my first pic taken with the "nifty-fifty" (since allyuh like the 50mm format on a APS-C format DSLR insidahheer).... here's MY christmas tree shot, with our lil' pal, Pupsy (straight out of camera, no post processing)



Nikon D200
Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AF-D
f/1.8, 1/160 (i think)
