Dear forum,

I hope this question is welcome; I'm unsure because it's a rather "new" lense compared to the description on the site, but on the other hand, it's still a manual one.

Long story short, one of the camera lenses is totally blurred with unidentified "stuff", I'm not yet sure whether it's fungus or anything else.

The affected lense is the lense which is the moving part of the IF group, so it seems to be the hardest to reach.

I was able to disassemble the back/bajonette part of the lense down to the focus ring/IF group, so I can *nearly* reach the lense in question, but there's still one lense "above" it.

It looks like it's impossible to unscrew the mechanics further, as all screws locking in the fokus ring are unreachable from the outside. I already removed one half of the focus ring (which was only holded in place by duct tape), but still no chance to reach the screws.

I figured that I'd have to remove all lenses from the front side until I reach the IF group and would be able to unmount the lense.

Is this true, or did I possibly overlook anything?

best regards,
Lars
