Abstract
A camera frame assembly has a frame. A lens mount has one or more hooks that grip the frame. A backer dogs the hooks against the frame. In camera recycling, the hooks are first undogged to provide access. The hooks are then released from the camera frame. Following the releasing, the lens mount is separated from the camera frame. The backer can include a baffle that defines an exposure opening aligned with the optical axis of the lens module.
