In this episode, we will be answering the top question which I get almost every day and that is about changing lens! While it sounds simple and is, there is I have come to discover there is a lot of confusion out there as many people think you need to "remove" the lens from the barrel and place it into the existing barrel! Please do not try this, you simply swap the barrels as I share in the video. It took me a bit to figure out this is what people are thinking and trying to do. So I hope this video helps explain things a bit better!
