I use this device for my lens, but I did wonder how depth UV light actually penetrates the glass.

However, this devise does generate Ozone, which if keep in a sealed bag may help to sterilize the lens. However, I have no proof of this.

Looks far more effective than these sweeper sterilizers - by specs it should do on the parts, if you disassembled the lens beforehand. To repeat myself, I doubt that exterior UV and ozone exposure can be effective inside a lens - the latter being a well-sealed container made of UV blocking glass and metal...

I wonder how this tanning bed treatment would work on a lens with haze?
I have a lovely little lens, but then hate the haze... Sad

thanks for any thoughts Smile

The lens is Tamron Adaptall-2 35-70mm F/3.5 Model 17A

Then why does exposure to UV clear thorium yellowing? Perhaps the longer UV wavelengths do get inside?
