Close, but no cigar…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I decided to purchase wide angle lenses for the 808-16 camera in large part to size restraints. \u00a0I realized\u00a0that installing an external lens was going to end up making the whole thing look like trash. \u00a0Last week, the wide angle lenses arrived. \u00a0This post provided the details<\/a> on how to convert the lens. \u00a0This is much cleaner than the modification I did to the stock lens. \u00a0I used an\u00a0X-Acto tool to remove the thread lock. \u00a0Once out, I could see the filter. \u00a0I sliced at the four corners and had no trouble prying out the filter. \u00a0I did have some trouble removing the lens from the sensor at first. \u00a0The forward lens cap came loose, instead of the entire lens assembly. \u00a0By the time I realized it, a small lens popped out onto my work bench. \u00a0Luckily, the bench was clear and I spotted it.<\/p>\n

I knew I would have to re-focus the camera, so I used AMCap to stream video from the camera to my computer. \u00a0I wanted to block out visible light, so I used a cut piece of floppy disk media. \u00a0Once cut to size, I installed this into the forward portion of the lens assembly. \u00a0After some adjustments to focus, it was ready for use.
