I just got a camera (canon 250d) and whenever I take the lense off the body I get all sweaty and afraid I’ll break it by using too much force. Im always careful with it and I noticed the small square on both the body and lense but I just want to know how sensitive it is. Can I scratch or damage anything if I place the lense wrong on the first try? I’m always thinking I’ll break it if I use too much pressure or twist too much, too little.
Lol, I recently switched from Canon to Nikon, the thread is backwards! I’ve gone to switch lenses in the middle of a shoot and forgotten, and twisted the wrong way more times than I care to share. Morale of the story, if you are trying to break it you can… but “accidental damage” probably won’t happen with the lens mount. There’s many other places to damage before that.
