Oil on the aperture blades In Konica Hexanon AR 50mm F1.7

[@aveal1337]

Thank you so much for this video. I would have been lost and you showed the entire process in a structured way so that I really enjoyed working through it. Please keep it up!

[@TheTraveller03]

Thank you for this video! I managed to follow it and have restored a copy with very oily blades to working order. Your meticulous tutorial is very much appreciated!

[@julianhernandez9504]

Muchas gracias por tu tiempo! Seguí paso a paso tus instrucciones y mi lente quedó como nuevo! Ahora sí a divertirse, muchas gracias. Saludos desde Orizaba Veracruz México 👋

Thanks, your video really helped me to repair and bring back to life this lens from a friend of mine. Is amazing this kind of content and also was a huge inspiration for trying to do this kind of content in my language, because I know sometimes the language barrier stopped a lot of people. Thanks, keep with this amazing content

[@mikeno62]

I can see your point, and I don't know what to do about it, I have only 2 language. Danish is my native language, and then English. I have no idea if it's possible to do some translation to another language with subtitles or so.

[@deathnotehora11]

@@mikeno62 I will try to do the subtitles in some spare time, so more people can use your amazing tutorial. If I can’t then I will try to do something in Spanish with credits to your content. Then again thanks for your content, it’s amazing. Cheers from Mexico!

And i am back here again for another detailed deconstruct.

[@humbertosandri2053]

I just bought this lens and I'll do some cleaning on it tomorrow. Your video was just what I needed. Thanks a lot and greetings from Italy.

[@julianhernandez9504]

Que se necesita estudiar para aprender eso? Es sumamente interesante, estoy fascinado. He reparado un par de lentes viendo tus tutoriales, muchas gracias 🙌 saludos desde Orizaba, Veracruz México.

Another great job! My son (also called Kenneth) has this lens on the Konica SLR that I gave him. I've sent him the link.

[@CorvusNumber6]

What a fantastic tear-down and rebuild. Thank you very much for detailing this! Cheers, Dave.

[@KaanSensoy]

Just amazing! What a patient:) I am big fan of konica lenses and waiting for your konica hexanon 40mm 1.8 AR disassemble video. Thanks for all these great videos!

[@mikeno62]

Thanks Kaan, I don't have the Hexanon 40mm, but I have the 100mm 1:2.8 with A LOT of Fungus, and I will sooner make a few videos about that lens and also cleaning the lens elements, I hopefully think it will be good :-)

[@KaanSensoy]

@@mikeno62 I am looking forward :)

[@jagerardi]

Thanks for another fascinating video. I'd love to see you do the helicoids on this one: I have the 50mm 1.8, and when you were spinning the focus ring here, I saw that yours turns much easier than mine. I always enjoy your videos. ..Joe

[@mikeno62]

Thanks Joe, I only have the 50mm 1:1.7 that I can make a video about, how to re-grease the helicoids.

[@jagerardi]

@@mikeno62 Right. That's what I meant. Probably a language thing. Sorry. ..Joe

[@marcorock20000]

Thank you for your guide, it helped to revive another old lens.

[@rodneywatkins4731]

Great tutorial! This will come in handy once my Hexanon arrives! Thanks for sharing!

[@umbertosandri3931]

Great lens! I have one of this and I am giving it some maintenance on this weekend. Thanks and greetings from Brazil!

[@mfherreradi]

Thanks, this video helped me to figure out how to clean out some sticky oil in the aperture mechanism! Now it moves really snappy!

[@stevocem]

I was trying to apply your disassembly method for the Hexanon 50 1.4, but it seems to be different. I removed the rear part to get to the aperture ring, but I can’t remove the aperture ring for some reason. Any hints? Many thanks

[@matisk8punk]

thanks dude!!!! amazing tutorial for clean konika 50mm!!! Grettings from Argentina.

[@adriang.4628]

thank you for this video. it helped me fix and declick a lens I got from a friend

[@crazygeorgelincoln]

thank you, as the video played i managed to get all the glass ,remove the dust and get it all back together, iv got the older shape , removing rhe center part of the mount made taking back plate of less forcefull. theres a tab on the aperture ring that gets in the way.removing the center gives more manoeuvrability.

[@renatoassis5300]

Jesus Christ! I'd rather perform an open heart surgery. Fantastic tutorial, thank you very much for your time!

[@christophhimmelfahrt2748]

Can i use this video as a manual for my Konica hexanon ar 57 mm 1.4? Thank you for your videos and your gentle way of explaining - just nice to listen to you!

[@DuyHungNguyenbk]

thanks a lot

[@mechanicalslrlounge5138]

Fantastic video! I'm wondering if instead of completely disassembling the aperture system, could I not just submerge/pour isopropyl alcohol onto the oily bits once the elements were removed? Or are there important parts that need to stay lubricated/greased?

[@lingbai3294]

Great video! With this lens, does the front lens group fully disassemble for cleaning?

[@LuisRodriguezC]

Excellent!

[@Llyllpuria]

I have Konica 50mm 1.7 which i accidentally opened the lens, can you please help to put it back together? thanks.

[@lakloplak]

I tried an ultrasonic cleaner. Works great, but ALL of the paint on the number markings are gone :')

[@reptilespantoso]

Thank you! I have a Konica AR Hexanon 85mm with fungus. Any tips on disassembling that?

[@mikeno62]

I don't have the 85mm, but I have the 100mm 1:2.8 with A LOT of Fungus, and I will sooner make a few videos about that lens and also cleaning the lens elements, I hopefully think it will be good :-)

[@reptilespantoso]

@@mikeno62 That would be great. Thank you!

[@ilyberth]

Kan jeg sende kamera til dig for at få dem fikset?

[@mikeno62]

Sorry, I do not have repair service.

[@САМСАЛЫЧ]

В этом случае, нужно промывать весь объектив, а не упражняться отдельно с диафрагмой

[@gregoryluna535]

This looks like a lost art. Definitely beyond my potential.
