MINOLTA - Minolta MD 35mm f18 Tutorial
by MINOLTAComprehensive disassembly and cleaning guide for the Minolta MD 35mm f1.8 lens, designed for photographers and vintage camera enthusiasts performing hands-on maintenance. This practical tutorial walks through mold removal and optical cleaning with step-by-step instructions rated at beginner difficulty level. The guide specifies all required tools—JIS precision screwdriver, rubber lens ring removal tool, kitchen gloves, and appropriate lens cleaning solutions—ensuring you have everything needed before starting. Progressive disassembly covers removal of the name ring, extraction of the filter holder frame (secured by three screws), and separation of the front optical assembly. Detailed color photographs document each component's condition before and after cleaning, providing clear visual reference throughout the process. Ideal for optical restorers and classic camera equipment collectors who prefer to handle preventive and corrective maintenance themselves rather than sending lenses out for service.
