I recently got a Tenax I, the small cheapish 24x24 with a galileian finder and a Novonar lens. The Novonar comes out in one piece from the camera, and the back lens can be screwed out from the assembly.
What I cannot figure out is how to separate the first two lenses, which form a single piece with the f stops wheel and the diaphragm. I need to separate them as the back surface of the front lens is cloudy, probably from some shutte roil.
Here is the first/second lens assembly, sorry for the bad pic from my cellphone, I have no digital camera atm.
On the left the f stops wheel and the front lens, on the right the second lens, diaphragm (almost fully open) and the screw mount for the third lens which I have removed.
Any ideas on how to split this part into its two component lenses? The only thing I can think of is that the screw mount for the third lens (the kind of "inner tube" on the right pic) can be unscrewed, the blades removed, and the there should be a way to unscrew the second lens from the first. Seems really messy for such a small lens...
