Canon 28-70 EF Macro

[j-dogg]

This here looks like exactly what I need

It's for a 35-70, but it doesn't say if it was a macro. Are the all the same. Might pull the trigger on this one and save me some bucks, I have heard a lot of good reviews on the 28-70

I guess one of those noses is broken. In case there is space on the outside of the barrel, you could cement it with pre-heated epoxy glue and a lug on the outside.

Have you tried to contact Canon for the part? The price in your last link seems pretty high.

it will fit. I can't recall the actual part number for the 28-70 barrel - but they were the same part as the 35-70.

If it's a bit loose then thats fine - I've used loose ones in the past without a priblem. If its a bit tight when you fit it and you zoom it then you can shave the "bumps" off the outside of the barrel with the edge of a scalpel/box cutter/razor blade...I've done this in the past when I couldn;t get the barrel I needed..

if you need any help send me a pm

I need to dismantle one of the 28-70 lenses because the focus is stiff.

I'm practising on a 35-70. I've got the mount off, the electroncis out, the diaphragm assembly out, the front decorator ring off, but now I'm stuck.

I've now removed the rubber grip from the zoom ring, and undone on of the pins, but can't get at the one on the opposite side.

I can't get the zoom/focus assembly out of the barrel.

I can't even find a parts catalog. This thread is the only reference I can find.

Can you help please?

Thanks.
