Hi all,
I have a Nikon SMZ1500 in which the zoom mechanism has slipped, so that the
zoom no longer works - no movement. There are some white plastic gears
that are the problem, but I can't access them, due to the plastic shell.
So I'm trying to get the shell off but it seems I need to remove the focus
knobs. I've got fine focus off but how to take off the gear cluster? Or
is there a better way to access the zoom gears- drill out a little arc of
the plastic?
