What is Reddit's opinion of NEEWER Camera Lens Repair Tool, Professional Stainless Steel Dual Tip Lens Spanner Wrench Lens Range Repair Opening Tool for Removing 10-130mm Lenses Compatible with Canon Nikon Sony DSLR Camera?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I can give you a partial answer.

The tool for a screw with two holes is called a spanner. You can get them pretty cheaply on Amazon or at other places. (E.g. this item.) Or you can improvise by using, say, two nails and a pair of pliers.

Seals, including the mirror bumper, are easy. If you e-mail Jon Goodman ([email protected]), he'll sell you a properly cut set for your camera and will provide a very good set of instructions. For about $10.

I use this, covers 90% of the work I do. Gets into areas the snap ring pliers cant. Invaluable tool for me

Pro tip: to make it compatible to drivers with 7135s, shave an angle off the inner side of the flathead side to give clearance as you unscrew/screw.

I usually remove them from some, not all fw3's are created equal. If you have a small flathead screw driver, you can start to try and unscrew it but usually you need distributed force so I use a DSLR lens spanner (invaluable tool)

What camera is this? I believe this is the tool you’re looking for. https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Professional-Stainless-Spanner-Opening/dp/B00J5F6ZI2/ref=asc_df_B00J5F6ZI2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309763890402&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12438393495488460539&hvpone=&hvptwo=&amp...

The 67CP is actually the Printmaker 35 with a 6x7 condenser kit - kind of entry level but probably fine up to 8x10 or maybe 11x14.

To get the lensboard out - IIRC - you push it towards the back of the enlarger, away from you. There's a metal spring towards the front. You don't unscrew anything.

The Beslars are 4-element cheapies - probably Roganar rebranded, entry level, likely just fine for smaller printing though. The Componon lenses are good performers, Componon-S are the higher end, both are 6-element glass. The 80mm Componon will cover 6x6 but possible not 6x7 - I believe the EL-Nikkor 5.6 is the only 80mm that will do 6x7/6x8?

Componon enlarger lenses are all over the place with thread sizes; good chance it will fit though. You'll need a lens spanner wrench to remove the retaining ring from the lens to get it off the board. If your Componon came with a retaining ring, you just need a board with a properly sized hole. Good chance you can use your existing board, but I have lenses with a crazy range of thread sizes.

For your enlarger, boards and neg carriers for 67c and Printmaker 35 enlargers should all fit. Usually plenty of boards on eBay, with various hole sizes or blank (undrilled, just a pilot hole in the center - you'd need a machine shop to cut the hole, or maybe tear up a hole saw on it).

Something like this will massively help.

Well, you can send it somewhere, decide it's just a shelf decoration... but if it's non-functional and you don't want to pay for repairs or can't find someone to work on it, it's kinda "what do you have to lose"... probably all you need is a good quality japanese screwdriver (JIS, size 0 and 00) and possibly a cheap spanner wrench. On mine, once the front is off, I think it's all just small screws, and there's a lens group that just unscrews like a bottle cap. Take photos with your phone of each layer, etc. (Some people have a "this is fun stuff!!" mindset, some it's terrifying... I'm more in the latter camp). I rarely shoot 35 anymore, but mine is such a little monster, that Rokkor lens is impressive. Shot this at dusk in a blizzard, on auto, thought I was just wasting film, but the detail was surprising.
