Review on πŸ“· Neewer Camera Lens Vise Repair Tool for Lens and Filter, Adjustable Ring Range from 27mm to 130mm, Durable Steel Construction by Sean Bouchard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just paid for itself. So pleasant!

Beautiful vintage lens with a filter ring soldered with a really rough grooved dent (I assume it was asphalt related) about 2cm long, again with a UV filter and I'll enter big smile thanks to this filter ring repair vise from the good guys at Neewer. I looked up a YouTube tutorial, cut a protective circle out of cardboard to protect the front element (in hindsight I don't think it was necessary and it got in the way a bit) and took 10 minutes max for this effort. Voila! There is still a badge of honor/badge/war wounds on the outside rim of the lens barrel, but the filter is screwed in well and my patient test shots (Nikkor 28mm f/2 ai-s, for the curious) were painfully beautiful. I want to find more injured beauties for rehabilitation! As for the quality of the instrument itself, it's just great. Beautifully crafted hidden black steel. Zero complaints about the way it works. There are other items on sale that look strikingly similar, but I cannot confirm their merits. I have been satisfied with Neewer products on a number of occasions so I went for their version of this vise and they have not let me down. Damn it works! They don't make lenses like they used to. I'm so glad I was able to rehabilitate one and give him a home. I have been satisfied with Neewer products several times, so I went for their version of this vise and they haven't let me down.
