Is anyone here familiar with the inner workings of the Sony rx100 series of cameras? I bought a pair of water damaged mark 1 and 3 to fix for fun, and I managed to get the mark 3 working, but then I hosed up big time just trying to fasten the outer lens cap back on the mechanism and now the lens won't extend. Long story short I think I've warped some parts in the zoom mechanism and the whole thing is just a brick now.
The mark 1 was in a much worse condition, so I put it away after opening it up. But now I'm thinking maybe I can repurpose some parts to get the mark 3 working again.
Is it worth a shot or would I be wasting my time? I know the focal lengths are different between them, but I think the physical housing is the same size.
