Here you can see the three cams. |

First, remove the three black screws, it is very useful to hold the lens upside down at the moment when the screw is going to fall, a soft fabric on the table will avoid you to lose them. If you have a ROM model, please don't unscrew the two contact's strip screws. |

Now, lift the black shroud, better don't use the fingers, you could touch the lens by accident. With the plastic tool, you will not make any scratch . |

Now it's easy to take it out, notice the shroud is not a complete ring as usual, the other small piece attached with the third black screw, just fell on the table before. |

And now, unscrew the bayonet. |
