Michael Althaus Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 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 PS: I'm sorry for my bad English. ---- www.cordvision.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Josh Hill Posted March 2, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted March 2, 2005 Are you sure it's the focus screen and not dust on the lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riku Naskali Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Are you sure you aren't referring to the ground glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Althaus Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Are you sure you aren't referring to the ground glass? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm taking about the ground glass. Isn't the ground glass and the focus screen the same? Sorry for my bad English. I tried to find out how to open the Camera but I coulden't find any tutorial on this.

Anthony Schilling Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Thats normal, just the ground glass. If you open it up and see specs, thats dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Althaus Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 my biggest problem is that I can't open the case. Too bad :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Last Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 (edited) 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.

Riku Naskali Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I'm taking about the ground glass. Isn't the ground glass and the focus screen the same?Yes, but it should have that texture. It's for focusing :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Althaus Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 (edited) Yes, but it should have that texture. It's for focusing :-) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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...
