Hi, I`ve read on Will Nemski s site that you can unscrew the lens head on this to fit to an M39 bellows. Unfortunately he doesn`t explain how and I don`t want to start messing with mine unless its basically a straightforward twist (left loosey!) of said head.
The reason for doing this is to allow access to the rear element to give it a clean, someone has previously cleaned it using a dirtyish cloth by the looks of it, other wise its in VGC. I think it`s affecting the contrast slightly and suspect someone has removed the head before hence that`s how the dirt got there.
Anyone took the head off their Quinar?

I've got an old, grubby, silver Quinar 135 2.8 that really needs some cleaning. A little haze on the front of the front element, but more a problem with grime and some fungus. Overall it just needs a good scrubbing to bring it back to life, I think.
I've gotten the optical block unscrewed and separated without a problem, but I need to remove the rearmost element, and I can't see a clear way to do it. I'd be thankful for any advice on that (I'll be trying in the meantime).
The focusing is completely locked-up, so I'll be working on that as well. Luckily it's isolated in the rear tube of the body. It doesn't look -too- complicated at first glance, but it's early to say for sure.
I'm hopeful I can resurrect this cool old lens.
BTW, is the filter thread really 54mm? I have a 54mm step-up ring but it doesn't seem to fit.

FWIW, I picked up this lens again and I managed to get the retaining ring off the rear element finally. I used a rubber ring over a balloon after loosening it with solvent.
Balloons are my favorite lens utility tool. They so often come in handy! |
