<p>GREETINGS.<br>

purchased online as it was.<br>

the carl zeiss jena lens is mounted and do not dislodge at all.<br>

tried brute force(up to a point), to no avail.<br>

many thanks in advance for any ideas<br>

M</p>

<p>thanks a heap Michael (as usual),</p>

<p>sounds like a challenge this one.<br>

but, i shall give it a try.<br>

i have found ample time on my hand recently and am trying to get some life back into my friends and my own old lenses. hence the fungus and dust covered lenses to mess with.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Greetings,<br>

<br />i need to clean the rear element on a AF NIKKOR 24-50mm f3.3-4.5 Ais lens.<br>

<br />Do i start from the back or front? is it quite straight forward or does it need major disassembly?<br>

Any ideas of how to go about it would be immensely appreciated (as ever).<br>

salutations<br>

M</p>

<p>thanks a heap Bob,<br>

learning everyday.</p>

<p>thanks again R.J<br>

i have tried different batteries on this and other cameras, and the result is the same.<br>

have cleaned the compartment few times, to no avail.<br>

as i mentioned before, the lightmeter red lights operate only when the MD-12 is attached, but the winder is disabled.<br>

when i disconnect the winder, the lights operate for another 2 or 3 advances on the lever, and then off completely again, until i repeat the procedure.<br>

quite puzzling.</p>

<p>thanks Rodeo J,<br>

all the compartments are clean.<br>

the MD-12 works with my other cameras.<br>

as you have mentioned there is no power between the batteries and lightmeter system.<br>

<br />so, it all points towards electrical issues within the body. i am afraid.<br>

cheers anyway.</p>

<p>thanks Jose,<br>

the battery comp. is clean and free from corossion.<br>

the winder works perfectly on other cameras.<br>

the advance film lever on camera is ok on it's own too.<br>

i am thinking it is more of a short circuit somewhere, but where exactly,...?<br>

M</p>

<p>greetings,<br>

i have been given an FM2n with faulty lightmeter.<br>

the metering redlights do not function.<br>

however, when the MD-12 winder is attached, the lightmeter works properly but you can not operate either the winder or film advance lever.<br>

any suggestions mostly appreciated.<br>

M</p>

<p>sorry, 1 last thing.<br>

i can not see any aperture ring on it, i have a nikon-mount one, which has the ring on it.<br>

is this normal for the minolta-mount ones?</p>

<p>much obliged.<br>

his is a A350 too. <br>

wish you a speedy recovery.</p>

<p>thanks David,<br>

my brother has a Sony alpha, so i wanted to post it to him, but just wanted to make sure of compatibility before doing so.<br>

So, am still in the dark as if it can be used with Sony DSLRs or not.</p>

<p>Greetings,<br>

<br />Could anyone be able to shed some light on this lens for me?<br>

I have become proud owner of a SIGMA 18-35 for Minlota AF. But I do not own any Minolta cameras.<br>

I have been told that it can be compatible with Sony DSLRs.<br>

is this true and to what extend? Does the AF works properly on all Sony DSLRs?<br>

Many many thanks in advance</p>

<p>hi there,<br>

MANY MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE.<br>
