35mm sandmar

[Inphenity]

Hi everyone, I just got a 35mm sandmar lens for my c3 in the mail today. It came with the aux. finder with a mask for 100mm. Do any of you have any experience with this lens? The click stops and focusing work fine, but there seems to be a little funk on the inside of the lens. Im not sure if its the coating or maybe a little oil. Anyone have a link to some dissasembly instructions? I should be putting a roll of film through it this weekend so i will post up the results as soon as i get the negs scanned.

Inphenity,

I had a problem with the 100mm lens that I got. I had to remove the rear element and clean out oil that had gotten between the elements. It was not hard to do. I just had to be percise and slow.

Check out Rick Oleson's page with info on the C3 among others:
