A project of this complexity is beyond me, so I will pass on this.
Good move. I hear that lens has a large number of very tiny ball bearings
which fall out in a heap when you open the lens.>>
Yep,
About 9,999,999,999.001 of them which will fall everywhere, including inside
your lens. I found this out the hard way, with a brand new 35-70 f3.6, when I
took off a filter. The end of the lens came off and well, you know the rest
of the story.
