It all started out when I got a new camera second-hand. I bought the GH5 body and the Panasonic 12-60mm f2.8. Just a few days after the purchase, I wrecked the lens. I accidentally dropped my camera bag on the concrete floor. It wasn’t a big hit but I probably just got really unlucky and the lens broke of the GH5 housing.

First of all I looked for the parts that got wrecked on the camera. I found out that those parts are called: the lens bayonet mount and the lens mount contact point cable. Lucky nothing apart from a bit of dust on the sensor happened to the GH5 Body!

After I ordered the parts from the internet, I took apart the lens by removing all of the screws and ribbon cables. I exchanged the ripped off cable and put all of the screws and cables back in. In the first attempt I forgot to put one cable back in and it didn’t work to start with but after I plugged that one in too, everything worked fine again!

Well, I got the camera I thought would suit me the best and the first bullet point is crossed off the list.
