What to use for cleaning (chrome) lenses?
I've got a few older lenses, some LTMs and some M-bayonet. The mounts of my 1951 35mm Sumaron and 1955 red scale Elmar are both in need of some attention.
What is the best to use for cleaning lens mounts, assuming some sort of 'wet' cleaning is necessary? Thanks, - Carl |

Re: What to use for cleaning (chrome) lenses?
Carl,
I use lighter fluid, in France the index of this kind is F. you can easily dismount an Elmar 3.5. just remove the stoping protuding screw, and next you have to index where is the position of the stop release button when it will release from the flange . You need after cleaning to lubricate the thread with the right grease. For the Summaron you will need more instruments than a single appropriate screw driver and the process is too long to explain here, sorry. |
