Al Debruin Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 On the Bolex H-16 the eyepiece screws out and you can easily access the lens from the body side but how do you clean the eye side of the lens through that pinhole? The lens is held in by some kind of clip but from past experience I'm weary of trying to remove that considering one false move may crack the glass.

Simon if you don't mind before I go ahead and try push the lens out could you please elaborate on the process, is there nothing more to it than just gently pushing with something like a thin wooden dowel, no need to remove what looks like a circlip that holds the lens in place?

Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted March 18 Premium Member Share Posted March 18 The C clip sits in there just like that, there is no groove. Try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
