I did it - then realised there wasnt much available to shoot so I cleaned off the dust and reassembled it. I'm sure I'll give it another shot today.Do it bwana! Then post your triumph or terrible, terrible failure.
Something else to try.
Me neither - I bought a 1.4. I've still got the 1.8 to play with though. However that seems kinda extreme - why not just reduce the aperture?
My bad - bit tricky to reduce the aperture on an electronic lens without the electrical feedthroughs though. A trick I've heard of is to set the aperture from the camera, press the DoF button, then to remove the lens while holding the DoF button in - sounds scary to me
I've mentioned using that method a few times when I flip my plastic 50 for macro shots. Probably even mentioned it in this thread.My bad - bit tricky to reduce the aperture on an electronic lens without the electrical feedthroughs though.

I'd still be worried about shorting out the lens...
When you get a real flash you can make one of these

Will think of doing that. So far it's been pretty much "Should I pay for repairs to the roof or get a flash?"
We've got a segmented roof - so we can just relocate to another roomExcellent
Turns out not wanting a roof to collapse and kill me is quite high in my priorities.
