Not a rangefinder lens per se, unless I use adapters, but anyway 🙂
I got an old Leitz Summicron-R 50mm (1966) that apparently was victim of some moisture since there is a bit of haze and corrosion from the alloy inside.
Need to dismantle it into atoms and clean the insides. Especially I need to get to the surfaces around the aperture blades. Does anyone know the correct disassembly order? It doesnt seem possible to just separate/unscrew the front and back groups like on the old M lenses.
Thankful for any help. And before you say it, no, it is not a very pretty specimen so it is not worth sending in for CLA 🙂
