I was able to disassemble my Olympuss F.Zuiko 1:1.8 f=50mm Lense to a point where there are
two lenses. These two lenses surront the
aperture. There is a
back lense and a front lense that I don't know
how to remove. I spoke with a sales man at
the store I bought the lense and he said that
the two lenses are glued on.
Is there a whey to
remove one of these two lenses?
This would allow
me to clean the inside surface of the two lenses.
This URL will show pictures of the lens.

Try: http://olympus.dementia.org/Hardware/
Some free downloads to include that lens.
Good luck getting it all back together the way it came apart! |

See if you can rotate the rear lens retaining/carrier ring.If it turns but does not unscrew, then the fit is of the snap-on type.The Canon 50/1.8 uses a snap fit carrier for rear group.
Lenses do need to come apart, so I find it hard to believe that the unit in your photos is glued up solid.If lens is glued into rear tube,does this tube come out of carrier plate?The tube is a separate part in the service diagrams.I cannot tell from your semi rear view how tube fits into rear carrier plate. |

I have the same issue - the front lens group is easy to remom}ve bust I cannot ever get the group apart to clean the surface of the second element. I think I might just force a real bad one and see how it is put together. |
