Zenobia lens cleaning in Medium Format Posted November 3, 2000 I just bought my first "classic" camera, a Daiichi Zenobia pocket camera. The unit is in great shape and the front lens element is quite clear. The rear of the lense has some sort of glazing(?) I removed the rear of the lens to clean it and realized that the funk is on the inside of the rear element. The piece has spanner notches which lead me to believe that it can be disassembled. Can anyone give any insight into what the internal glazing may be? Also, is this a job for a pro or could it be done by a do-it- yourselfer? Second qustion...on the front of the lense housing at about the 7- O'clock postion is an external devise that has a smal spring loaded plunger. Anyone know what it is? Thanks in advance! I look forward to going retro and using this little jewel for nature photography while on wilderness mountainbike journeys. Ronnie P
