    Cleaning the inside of a lens

    in Beginner Questions

    Posted

    <p>Hi, I have two old (made around 1980 at the earliest) Zeiss lenses (given to me) which I want to use, but there is some visible dust inside. I took one down to the local camera store and the guys there said it was dust, not mold, and they could send it off for me to get cleaned for $100+. Is this my best option? Should I trust any random lens service to clean my lenses? Any and all help will be much appreciated.<br /> <br /> The lenses are C/Y mount, one is 120mm, the other 50mm.</p>

    <p>everyone, thank you so much for your answers and information. I ordered the c/y adapter from amazon, it's a fotodiox, and cheap. ($30) But infinity focus is "guaranteed". I hope at least Amazon will honor that (I suspect they will, always had good experiences in the past). I'll take some shots and share them after it comes in.</p>

    <p>Hi, I'm trying to figure out what kind of lens adapter to get, and maybe someone here can help. I have a Panasonic L1 (which I love) and also a couple of old Zeiss lenses from a Contax camera. I'd really like to try one in particular, a Planar T* 2/135. Honestly, though, I'm a bit worried over what's the exact lens mount I need. I've found some adapters like this one: <br>

    which adapts a Zeiss C/Y mount to an Olympus 4/3 body. Would that work? Thanks for any help anyone can give me.</p>
