Voigtlander Ultron 35/1.7 moisture cleaning front element
mkielan replied to mkielan's topic in Leica and Rangefinders
Thank you. That is the question now - is it worth it, and does it involve opening the optical cells and could it affect the image quality? Ultron is a simple and retro design, so maybe it won't be that difficult.

Yes, that looks exactly the same. Thanks for identifying the problem. Would still very much like to get rid of it, if only to retain resale value. Is that very difficult or expensive to do? -

Any chance this technique could be used to dismount and clean the front glass element?

i tried heating it and blow drying, but that didn't work. I've only seen online one short description of how to open up the front element, but it was done for fixing a loose aperture ring not for cleaning the glass, so not as precise as I would like it to be and no pictures either. 35/1.7 Ultron - IT'S FIXED!!!!!~ -

It's only four years old. But that's also what I'm thinking. I like to do a little DIY if it's pretty simple and manageable. -

I presume it doesn't, but I would still like to get rid of this. That humidity could be the basis for mold in the future. It's there any guide to disassembly of this lens somewhere? -
hello, my lens has recently got some moisture inside. any chance it will evaporate - or are these already marks left from it? otherwise is there an easy way to disassemble and clean, or is it better to have a professional deal with it? thanks in advance for helping. kind regards, michał
