I wondered how cross section camera or lens models were made, and I found this page:

So I guess the preferred method is to use a diamond saw. I wonder if waterjet would produce a similar result?

I think the problem with a water jet is too much variability during the cut, causing deep grooves in things like the glass elements. I've got a few dead cameras I'd like to do this with.

Looks brutal, but how else do you do it? I'm receptive enough in Deutsch to understand most of it. I would think that the trauma of such a saw blade would cause many of the smaller parts to be bent or broken, like the hinges on the mirror and such.

It was interesting seeing the difference between the real and mirror pentaprisms.

I'm pleased to see the use of wooden clothes-peg clamping shims in a professional industrial environment. One of the great kitchen-table tinkerer resources 😉.
