Leica Leitz Summicron 35mm f/2.0 v.1 八枚玉 8e 鏡片霧化變質拋光 Polishing to the hazy/deteriorated lens element surface

這支Leica Leitz Summicron 35mm f/2.0 v.1 八枚玉 的鏡片有嚴重的變質問題,鏡片看起來完全是霧的,很難看透。這支鏡頭有兩個鏡片表面有嚴重變質的問題,在這樣的狀態下拍照,成像完全是霧矇矇的,是一支沒辦法再使用的鏡頭。 為了要讓它能夠再拍出乾淨通透且清晰的照片,拋光是唯一的方法。精準的拋光能夠讓鏡頭重生,成像也能保持原始狀態
最後的三組拋光前後的測試照,可以清楚看到處理前後的成像表現有極大的差異。

Carl Zeiss Planar B-Speed 85mm f/1.4 全鏡清潔修復保養 Full lens cleaning and restoration

這支蔡司 Zeiss Planar 85mm f/1.4 B-Speed系列的電影鏡頭 來到我工作室的鏡況很糟糕,對焦環很緊、光圈環無法轉動、鏡片有嚴重的髒污,理所當然就是全鏡拆解清潔重新潤滑
拆鏡之後發現九片光圈葉片完全黏死在一起幾乎無法分開,這也是造成光圈環無法轉動的主因
全鏡拆解依照鏡片、光圈葉片、對焦環、光圈環、鏡筒 等各部份分別清潔與重新潤滑。耗時費工過程,最終將它完整修復!
***這支鏡頭縮光圈時是呈現三角形的形狀,修復之後忘了拍照片~
 
This Zeiss Planar 85mm f/1.4 B-Speed series cine lens came to my repairing shop in a very bad condition. The focusing ring was very tight, aperture ring was unable to rotate and all the lens elements were dirty and hazy, so full disassembling for a completely restoration is necessary.
After took apart the lens, I found the 9 iris blades were completely stuck together with dried grease that lead the aperture ring unworkable. 
The restoration work was divided into several parts: thoroughly cleaning all the lens elements, taking apart and cleaning the iris blades, cleaning and re-greasing the focusing helicoids and aperture ring, cleaning all the lens tubes externally and internally. Each part took a lot of time, and finally the work was successfully and completely completed.
*** The 9 iris blades of this lens are divided into 3 groups, when stopped down the diaphragm produces triangular shape. I forgot to take pictures after the restoration work.
