Camera Lenses

search for Mamiyz camera on the net look at the serial number on the camera if applicabe. usually when you search the camera by serial number a manual may be avaiable. cleaning any lens needs a puff brush so not to scratch your lens a camera cloth to whip finger prints. other then that i'm not sure how to deattach the sort of camera lens you have

Wipe it off with water, and maybe then some alcohol, and maybe some q tips.

If if looks clean, it probably is.

Do you actually have film for this camera? 120 film is probably still available, but you are advised to get a new mature digital camera.

Film is dead, done, over.

-except for art and movies since still Panavision makes movie cameras that still use film 80 percent of the time. 20 percent of the time their digital cameras are used for serious work. Figure in 10 years no film will be professional. Digital cameras are now mature tech. Square format cameras always gave great resolution, but 35mm was long long set as a brain format.

Film is dead, done, over.

True. Been in the funeral. Relative costs contributed to that. But wait a minute. I personally have changed 3 expencive digital cameras in five years, with associated warranty isuues, mems, bats lens, incompatibility isues, water panics, failures etc etc etc. Mature my b*t. And final photo quality? Fine for 15 cm prints but you could print a poster from some of my old films detailed enough to see iregularities on a protesting hair from your eyebrows.You would need gigapixels for that. Not old fashioned but it will be long before dig image has equivalent fidelity to film

Suggest you try to find a technical service document which describes how to disassemble your particular lens. Disassembling and cleaning older camera lenses is possible, but it may be a wasted effort!

In many of these older lenses, internal moisture has allowed a fungus to grow on the internal elements surface coating. In many cases the coating is permanently damaged. The lens must be completely disassembled, cleaned, and the lens elements re-coated. This cannot be done at home and is usually MORE expensive to have done than buying a new lens!

If the lens has an internal haze (fungus), chances are it is only good as a paperweight. Sorry
