Thanks again for the responses. I took the camera into the shop at the local college and got to use some of their tools. I unscrewed the lens elements and gave them a good going-over with optical cleaner and q-tips (good tip, John!). Unfortunately, about 20% of the dirt and 50% of the oil fogging the glass is on the inside of two attached elements that appear nearly impossible to separate (they're both snapped/glued into the same mount). I then opened up the shutter and put in a small amount of lubricant to try to free things up and get the timings back in order, but unfortunately to no avail. Tomorrow afternoon I'll go in again and try to follow the cleaning instructions from David Richert's site to try to get the shutter back up to speed. |
