I need to start selling off some of the extra stuff from the bundles I've bought to recoup a bit of cash. Still want an XD5 or 7 though.
I'm about a third of a way through a film in the Trip and I've got films in a couple of other cameras too. I'm just slow.
The lens was easy. Peel off the rubber focus grip. Underneath that, there was a couple of wraps of black tape to seal a joint. Then just unscrew the top of the lens to reveal a couple of elements and the aperture. There was quite a bit of greasy haze on the inner element (oil residue from the aperture?) but it cleared up nicely with a bit of alcohol.
