Lens Cleaning - Super-Takumar 50mm F/1.4 (7-Element)

Here is a shorter versions of cleaning and re-greasing a vintage Takumar lens. This lens is the 50mm F/1.4 seven-element version.

At 20:54 - I put that particular lens element in backwards. I didn’t noticed this until I tried to use the lens. It gave the photos a very nice dreamy look but that isn’t the kind of affect I am looking for. So if you do happen to follow this video for cleaning your own lens, make note of the correct orientation.

If you want a more in-depth explanation on how to put this lens together, check out the previous video here:    • Refurbishing a Vintage Lens - Super-T...
