Can someone tell me how to remove the lens from the Petri 2.8 camera body? There appears to be some fuzz on the inner surface that I need to clean. Thank you. |

You have to remove some of the front leatherette, Mine was brittle and was destroyed but it's the only way to get at the lens plate, remove the 4 corner screws... http://www.flickr.com/photos/rwrede/8213213098/in/set-72157632086559984 It comes off quite easily... http://www.flickr.com/photos/rwrede/8212123809/in/set-72157632086559984 Then you can get at the inner lens group... http://www.flickr.com/photos/rwrede/8213212536/in/set-72157632086559984 If you mean the inner lens of the front group try this, it's all in one easy to remove piece... http://www.flickr.com/photos/rwrede/8212124125/in/set-72157632086559984 |

You don't need to remove the entire lens assembly. You just have to get access to the glass. On most models the front lens group (two elements) screws out easily. That will immediately show you whether the problem is in the front or rear group, or both. Come back with what you find. |
