Half fogged rear element group Nikor AF20mm F2.8D... - davidmanze - 03-08-2017 It's the "humorous" side of owning older lenses JoJu! In the event of lenses having individual elements (no couplets) your only risk is fungus, which for the most part is easily cleanable (at the "possible" loss of a tiny amount of coating). With fogging your lens is dead! It's a bit like owning a car with no electronics around the engine, at worst you have only to change the points or the coil!

OMG, also have two Helios's......6 elements in four groups....two sets of twin couplets !! ...where's the Valium?

With all the liquids you used to break the couplet's seal, you should be a happy grinning man soon. :blink: Half fogged rear element group Nikor AF20mm F2.8D... - davidmanze - 03-08-2017 I don't have a coffee grinder or a blender.....however I have an angle grinder with a felt backed disc.. Hey! Smoking aluminum? .Hmmm, Oh I know, I'll mix it with powdered iron oxide, I'll roll a ten skinner with a big twisted end, just need some magnesium to light it up!! Thermite joints......yeah man! they don't come much hotter than that!! should hit the spot nicely, works for the TGV, should keep me on the rails! :o Errr.. anybody got a light? B) Half fogged rear element group Nikor AF20mm F2.8D... - davidmanze - 03-25-2017 Finally put the lens on ebay UK....it sold within 24 hrs! £75/98 euros.+ £8 postage I described it "accurately".......... for spares/repairs with misted rear couplet producing images with low contrast, otherwise in good condition. OK time to move on... Half fogged rear element group Nikor AF20mm F2.8D... - Rover - 03-25-2017 Well, better for it to end up this way rather than as a fishing weight.
