The Zeiss 50mm Planar is of beautiful construction.
When you remove the lens nameplate cone (unscrews with a rubber tool) and unscrew the topmost retaining ring you will be able to remove the entire optics group. Each element is separated by a precision distance ring so tip carefuly on to a table top and make sure the entire block of elements stays in its correct position. . You can then see into the back end of the lens mechanism for whatever reason you have to do so. |

Hi there,
I'm new here, so please forgive my ignorance when it comes to forum protocol...
I have a Planar 1.4/50 HFT which arrived in a number of pieces (there are little springs and some screws in a separate baggie), and the diaphragm is stuck wide-open. Is this lens as easy to dismantle and repair as the 1.7, or am I looking for trouble?
I've previously taken apart and repaired a 3.5/135MC and 2.8/180 CZJ Sonnar, and have also converted permanently a number of (duplicate) Pentax SMC-M K lenses to Canon EOS mount, so am not completely useless when it comes to using my hands!!!
With thanks in advance and kind regards,
Mal |
