dant Posted April 18, 2013 Share #1 Â Posted April 18, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I bought a bunch of Zeiss (Japanese) glass and a 15mm Voigt. 5 out of 6 of the lenses had loads of grease visible on the side of the inner workings, near the rear element, when you focus the lens through its range. Â Should I try to clean up some of this grease at the rear of the lens? Â It is far enough away from the glass. but it looks like a great dust catcher. The Voigt is the worst offender. But a couple of the Z lenses are close to the greasy Voigt. Â Did the old German Zeiss glass display so much grease? Â Does Leica glass suffer from excessive grease coming out of its rear end? I would hope they do not for the money they charge. Â Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted April 18, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted April 18, 2013 You should see my car! Some idiot filled the engine with greasy fluid. I managed to drain it all out but you'd think they'd take more care wouldn't you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted April 18, 2013 Share #3 Â Posted April 18, 2013 I have always said, if something is too greasy, don't buy it. This policy has saved me from many a kebab over the years. They were extortionately expensive too. Where do these people get off, eh? Â Regards, Â Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
