Besprosvet Posted February 20, 2023 Share #1 Â Posted February 20, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) An Elmar 90mm came home today, unfortunately with some grease on the blades and especially with some haze. Is there any way it's easy to open and clean? Can I do it myself? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpitt Posted February 20, 2023 Share #2 Â Posted February 20, 2023 First thing you can do is unscrew the top part. Then you can access the rear lens easily and clean it. I never went any further than that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyS Posted February 21, 2023 Share #3  Posted February 21, 2023 I have some lenses that belonged to my grandmother from the 50’s that had haze and oil film.  I found a reputable Leica lens cleaner and shipped them to him.  It took about a month and was not that expensive.  DAG Camera is a US based repair.

Besprosvet Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share #4 Â Posted February 21, 2023 In the end, unscrewing a few things from the back, I was able to reach the aperture blades, cleaning the glass made haze disappear, thankfully I was able to do it on my own 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
