Lens cleaning Xpan 45mm

[johnnyalucard]

Hi All

Anybody have any ideas how to get into the 45mm F4 lens on the Hasselblad Xpan/Fujifilm TX-1? I have some what looks like oil on the aperture blades and want to clean it off before it starts causing issues. I can't see any way of getting into the lens from the front and I don't fancy taking it apart from the rear and making my way forward!

Also has there ever been any resolution of the issue where these cameras occasionally get stuck after cocking the shutter? This is my second Xpan and I also had a Fujifilm TX-1 years ago and they have all done it. I've just worked around it but I wonder if anybody has ever come up with a reason why it happens and a fix.

Thanks!

Johnny

I've never had such an issue. Stuck? How? My Xpan only ever failed to fire when the batteries were dead.

The shutter only half fires halfway through a roll and you have to rewind the film to get it going again.

I wouldn't worry about oil on aperture blades of a rf lens. It's an issue on SLR lenses where the aperture needs to stop down quickly.
