This wrench can be used on any lens that has the necessary marks. They're two holes or slots on opposite sides of the front or back element of the lens.
My unit's minimum opening width is 18mm when positioned as you describe. However, this can only be accomplished by omitting the use of two of the four tightening screws. The heads of the screws are large enough that screws on opposite sides will bump into each other, keeping the tips a couple of millimeters apart. However, if you use only one screw on the bottom and a diagonally opposite screw on the top, the tips will be at their closest distance (18mm). The wrench didn't seem to be quite as rigid as it could have been. Wrapping tape around the wrench, on the other hand, seems like it would help.

Please note that this spanner is far too large to open the second retaining ring that secures the larger lens unit on the Canonet QL17 Giii. The clearance is far too small (less than 2 mm) for this. If you're going to open one of these cameras, you'll need something much more compact. It works with older canonets that have a single lens. If you have a giii, I advise you to look elsewhere. Perhaps a tool with thin needles to draw the circumference.
For repairing old cameras, this is an excellent tool. I had difficulty removing the lens elements from an old Canonet 28 without this tool, but with this spanner wrench it was a breeze. It includes four hand-adjustable screws and four tool-adjustable screws that can be tightened even more with the included hex key to keep the pieces at any desired length. This tool can be set up in a variety of ways as well. br>br>The two halves can be arranged to curve inward as well as outward, which was especially useful because it allowed the tool to fit into the lens without scraping the sides, which is why I chose the curved model over the straight one. br>br>The tool is made entirely of metal and is extremely durable. The hand-adjustable screws are sufficient to keep it firmly in place at the desired width. When removing a ring from a lens that requires a lot of pressure/torque, I found that wearing thick work gloves was the best option. Otherwise, the tool's edges would irritate my hand and make it difficult to use. br>br>Overall, this is a fantastic tool at an excellent price, and I am extremely pleased with it. It's without it that I wouldn't be able to fix old cameras.
For the price, it's a good tool. This wrench was purchased so that I could repair old cameras and lenses. I've used it twice now and it's been great so far. There was one change I had to make: The thumb knobs are too big for the arms to get close enough to where I needed them to be. The smaller hex-shaped hex-shaped hex-sized hex-shaped The thumb screws on one arm were left loose, allowing that arm to be the adjustable side. The thumb nobs are a little on the smooth side, and it's difficult to get them tight enough that they don't loosen during use. Overall, if you're a hobbyist looking to give your gear a little TLC, this will suffice.
Solidly- built, and it works perfectly. It was used to take apart and repair a Canon FD 50mm f1 lens. I purchased four lenses at a flea market. Without this type of tool, the job would have been nearly impossible.
On my telescope, I need to get a filter. I couldn't get it moving with any other tool, so this was ideal.
A good spanner was required for the disassembly and cleaning of an older Minolta zoom lens. This spanner worked well, but Allen set screws should be used instead of the knurled set screws because they can't be tightened enough to keep the setting in place. It worked perfectly, and I can now use the lens on my Sony DSLR with an adapter.
The points can be rearranged to curve inwards or outwards, making it easier to remove components from deep within a lens's housing. It just goes to show that Neewer can make a high-quality accessory at a reasonable price.
This is an excellent tool for dismantling camera lenses. Despite the fact that the description says it's for DSLR cameras, it'll work with any camera. This has been used to open and clean lenses on cameras dating back to 1952, including a Kodak Retina IIa. The tips are extremely sharp and precise, and the locking screws allow you to separate and keep the two sides in place while working on your camera. I prefer flat head tips to pointed head tips, but I've seen cameras with both types. If you enjoy repairing, restoring, or working on old cameras, this is a must-have tool.
