clean focus screen on beaulieu 6008

Hello everybody,

 

I just bought a Beaulieu 6008 S super8 camera. Everything seems to be ok except the *focus screen". It looks nice and clear as long as the iris is wide open. If I start to close it down to f22, a *pattern" (looks like dirt) becomes visible on the focus screen. If I open the iris again, everything looks clean.

Is this normal? I can't focus properly if the iris isn't fully open.

Does anyone know if I can clean the focus screen by myself and how? Tutorial?

 

Have a nice day...

 

Michael

my biggest problem is that I can't open the case. Too bad :(

If it is just dirt on the ground glass, you do not have to open it. Just take the lens off and blast the ground glass with an air gun. If that didn't took it off, you can use a lint free cloth to wipe the ground glass. The ground glass is located at the front right side of camera. It is accessible inside and out!

 

If you focus on an object under a bright sunlight, and what appeared to be dust disappeared, then that is normal. The dust you see is actually the ground glass.

Yes, but it should have that texture. It's for focusing :-)

 

I know, but it's far to much. You can't even get something in focus properly. On my other Beaulieu 6008 the ground glass looks much cleener. Same on my SLR camera. If I just could it open...
