Hi!

Does anyone has instructions on how to remove the front optics for cleaning? Mine contains haze and I would like to clean it up. Thanks!

If I recall correctly, you simply unscrew the slotted retaining ring holding the front element in place. This gives access to the front of the second lens element (as well as both sides of the front element, obviously). The rear of the second element is only reachable by disassembling the lens from the rear.

Thanks!!!!!

I managed to easily remove the 1st element and clean it. Looking at it, it seems like the underside of the 2nd element needs cleaning. Do you have any instructions on how to disassemble the rest of the lens?

While cleaning the front element, i flipped it back and forth then i couldn't remember which side is the top and which side is the bottom. Is there a way to know?

Thanks.
