Hi guys i have a beautiful old Yashica 15mm which used to take stunning photos. Haven't used it for 5-10 years and came back to it to find one of the internal filters has developed some haze on it which looks like the start of fungus. It's strange because the rest of the lens seems to be completely free of fungus!
This lens seems to be pretty rare and hard to get hold of, and seems to be worth repairing.
Took it to the real camera shop in Manchester the other day and they didn't know how to get into it. Looks like the filters sit right behind the front element. I've no idea how to take the front element off and have tried.
...a quote from Seandean Cameras in Soho in London was £299 to have it cleaned repaired which is an absurd amount of money.
Does anyone know of anyone to send the lens to on a "last try" basis, before i give up hope with it.
