Hi everyone,

My lens developed fungus after sitting unused for a while, and I’m planning to clean it myself. The problem is I can’t find any disassembly guides or documentation for this specific model.

I’m fairly confident working on lenses—I’m not a professional, but I’ve previously repaired a broken aperture cable and cleaned fungus from other lenses. However, those had guides or videos I could follow, so I’m a bit stuck this time.

Does anyone happen to have a full disassembly guide, video, or any resources for this lens?

It’s a Tokina AT-X Pro 28–70mm f/2.8. I’m not sure which exact version it is, but the exterior has a rough, textured finish.

Thanks in advance.
