- Cleaning lens elements with Hydrogenperoxid 3% and "ECLIPSE" sensor cleaning fluid in Super Multi Coated TAKUMAR 1:3.5 / 135, I use "PEC-PAD" lens tissues.
Thanks to you I was able to recover a very bad infected lens. Thank you very much!
Thank you Mike. You are modern day hero 🙌
I like that you gave a thorough description of all the tools you used, and how you use them. Most of it I figured out already for myself, but good to have everything together!
this lens has good contrast and sharp at f3.5 really kicks ass on Sony full frame..
Tx for the video!!!
I took the ring of with small silicone peace ... with little bit of persistence. Saves the coating
Very nice video.
Thank you!!!
Thanks for your time and sharing this.
Great video, thank you so much.
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, great guide.
BTW, anyone looking to buy rubber stoppers here is a tip. If you're on a tight budget(like I am) you've noticed that those stoppers specifically intended for lenses are super expensive(cost more than a decent vintage lens). Here is a cheaper alternative - "silicone stoppers", I mean the ones used for wood barrels in wine/beer making, just make sure you get those that are intended for use with an bubbler/airlock because they're hollow and only come in contact with the ring not the lens itself as it should be.
The type I mean: i.ebayimg.com/images/g/S8kAAOSw-iZb9njE/s-l1600.jpg
Thank's for the link, I have actually use "Rubber stopper" many years to take apart lenses and cameras, it's really good sticky rubber and one can get them in many different size' or modifie them into other design.
Over time it will be more hard and less sticky, but one can in a way recover the "stickyness" with some Acetone on a cloth, the Acetone will soften the rubber, so they will be "almost" new.
The "rubber cone" from Japan Hobby Tools is, in my opinion really good because they will keep the stickyness longer.

@JustWonderingHowToDo Yeah, looks like there aren't any. Found some alternatives. I've bought mine in an engine testing kit that I also needed, here is the ebay listing number - 323563179005(just put it in the search bar), the largest size works perfectly for the takumars. Another alternative I've seen people use are sink plugs, just make sure you're getting the correct size, for example ebay number 283921069006. If you only need a specific size you can get a dedicated tool, ebay have some that are more reasonably priced like this one - 123732932543 , the seller has other sizes too. I'd also recommend getting a lens spanner wrench, I tried using calipers instead and ended up scratching the lens housing.
you make it look easy!
Excellent detailed video
After done a few Minolta lenses with help of your great video’s I’ve tried my luck with the Super Takumar 150 / 4 with help of this video. Much more tricky work. Aceton for movement and Hydro peroxide for cleaning really helped!
you might want to be careful mixing acetone and H2O2. look up triacetone triperoxide. Mother of Satan is a scary name that appears to apply to this compound
Incredible videos, I'm glad I found your channel! Quick question, I have a Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD for Nikon (the older Generation 1 version, not the G2) and want to clean dust from inside the Front element. I do not see that you have worked on this particular lens. Is there a lens that's a close substitute that I can watch a video on? Thanks for any advice.
Beautiful video that made me think about cleaning my Vivitar Series 1 V3 3.5 70-210. It has fog But it is very well taken care of. Do you have any advice to give me? The three screws to remove it are very firm. And any other advice would help me a lot.
thx for video
Hello. I'm interesting in such compact, inexpensive lens which gives good image. There are various SMC Takumars 135 f/3.5 on Ebay at a low price, but they have "many fungus". In this case, can lens coating be damaged, or it remains in a good condition after cleaning? Also, does lens frame need cleaning from fungus?

Hi. Don’t these cleaning fluids damage the lens coatings? Thanks.
Great video for a great lens. How about a test photo before and after, to show the difference of cleaning? Tripod and a complex image, so you can see the effects of dust, fungus, and haze.
Yeah that a good idea, I will try that next time I clean a lens for fungus Haze or a lot of dust..
Hi excellent video is posible to show haw you cleaning the aperture blade on this takumar , I have a old supertakumar 200mm f4 whit oil on the blade and the lens is on perfect condition , but I need to open to clean the aperture blade , thanks always very informative
Thank's Guillermo, I'm planing to make another video about the aperture blades and the aperture system :-)
Hi Mikeno, I first want to say I really enjoy your videos, (not as much the time lapse) they are educational and I find them relaxing after a stressful day. My girlfriend thinks they are boring and I drive her crazy because lately that's all I watch. lol. But the reason for my comment is I have a 20mm 2.8d nikon that I recently purchased used on ebay. When I went to test it I noticed the focus is stiff from 2 meters to infinity. The seller is offering a discount to have it repaired or a refund. I wonder if this is a simple fix, or best left to the professionals, or should I get my money back? I purchased the lens for $249 and he is offering a $150 credit. So what should I do?
Also, I want to thank you for inspiring me to fix my 80-200mm 2.8d af-s. Its clean and working well. Thanks for all your videos!!!

What screwdrivers are those? The set I have aren’t magnetic and it’s so hard it get those tiny screws back in after removing
It looks like one of the Wera Kraftform Micro Electronic Screwdriver Set
Hi Mike, how are you? I wanted to know what's the filter thread for this lens. Thanks for your time.
I'm fine but very busy at the moment, I measured the front of the lens and it looks like the filter thread is 49mm.
Hi, I bought a SMC Takumar 35mm f2 and it has some fungus and I was planning on open it and clean it with Hydrogen Peroxide, i was reading online that this lens is radioactive.I wanted to know if it’s dangerous to do that. I hope you can help me with that, I have been looking online but I couldn’t find anything.
That thoriated glass isn't *very* radioactive. The amount of exposure over a photographers whole life was estimated to be something similar to having a scan at a hospital. It's the kind of radioactive source you'd be allowed to experiment with in school. Just be aware that your eyes are a little more sensitive to alpha particles than the rest of you (your skin will block alpha particles) so wear some kind of eye protection while you do it.
Where did you buy these rubber cones? Thank you very much.

Hi Mikeno, is it possible to destroy fungus from lenses?
I think that if it gets some sunlight the fungus will die.
Where do you purchase those PEC pads?
amazon
Nice video.
Aren't you afraid with your metal compass that it will slip and scratch the glass? Looks scary.
Well, I know it looks a bit scary, but I have never scratch a lens element with my lens tools.
Sometimes I use a vernier caliper's small jaws (which is used for inside diameter measurements) to losen binocular elements.
Also a handy tool is a rubber strap wrench.
I’ve just tried to clean a 135 f2.5 and unfortunately it ended up being a disaster... the front element refused to unscrew, one bad move I did and the glass got scattered! Rip takumar :(
Life gave you lemons, make some lemonade and turn it into a Deakinizer type lens! ;)
@@muziqfreek actually to my surprise it can still takes very nice portraits, the centre is very sharp! However the corners are terribly soft and the CAs are off-the scale
@@guattodaddo yup! Sounds like a Deakinized lens!!
