That Ken Rockwell is a genius ;)
Very cool pics - I imagined an illustration, not a literal camera that had been cut in half.

BTW you do a cut away with a laser. It's fast, clean and allows the best results without a mess. |

Thanks, I was just wondering about it. I suppose that voids the warranty. :p |

How does the laser deal with the mirror and lens elements?

Cuts right through it, like a warm butter knife cutting through a stick of butter.
You could also use a waterjet.

Hi, I just stumbled upon your conversation about cutting in half...
I was firing my laser and got this result:

Hi Guys,
I have just come across this topic about cutaway lenses, great read and some very interesting photos! Always interesting to see inside these complex things and an insight to how they work.
