I've ran into a Elmar 3.5cm, it's pretty rough cosmetically and is plagued by some pretty nasty hazing. I seem to remember there being a tear down pictorial somewhere, but through my efforts haven't been able to locate it.
Can anyone shed some light for me on the proper disassembly of this classic ltm lens,
I've cleaned a handful of industar and FED collapsible 50's which I assume this lens is similar in assembly?
Any pointers welcome! Thanks in advance!

No love anyone? I'm sure someone has some tips and tricks out there!

Throw up some photos. Maybe no one knows that specific lens, but Leica used the same assembly methods again and again, so some photos might let someone see that it is just like lens XX?

Will post photos Thursday afternoon, I'm currently out of town, and the lens is locked away at home. Great idea!
I can imagine it would be similar to the 2.8cm Hektor and 3.5cm Summaron lenses, maybe more so the Hektor.

Do you have an optical bench to collimate the lens again? If not I would send it in for a cleaning. Leica is to expensive, but there are others who are far more reasonable.

Interested to know too. I need to clean a little haze out of my 35mm Elmar too.
