If the 1.4 is the same as the later "Made in Japan" 1.8, you may not be able to remove the front element. In the few exploded diagrams I have seen, the front group is one unit. The front element is not held in place with a retaining ring. I'm not sure how it comes apart or if it is even possible. In my copy of the 1.8, there is a slight hint of fungus around the edges between the front element and the second element. I would love to get it apart to give it a cleaning. If you find out how to do this, please post it! |
