Hi - I acquired a nice little 1.7 Planar but on careful examination, there's a smear on the rear surface of the front element. I've been able to remove the front 2 group but have no idea as to how to separate the two bits of glass so it can be cleaned. Checking the Zeiss diagram, it would appear that the 2 front elements are not glued together which is at least encouraging.
From the slight marks on internal surfaces, screws etc, I'd say someone has attempted to clean the lens before but didn't check properly before reassembling. Can anyone help? Photos of the offending 2 element assembly are attached. _________________ Contax RTS/Zeiss lens fan and constant user along with my Mamiya RZ67 ProII. Favourite lens: Zeiss Planar 55 f1.2. |
