super takumar 135mm disassembly 2

I take no responsibility for anyone making a cack handed job and it is entirely at your own risk.

this is the m42 thread 3.5. 135mm pentax super takumar

This is front and back elements in order.

Top 3 are removed from the front. bottom 2 are removed from the back.

Thats all I dared to do. I cleaned the lenses of fungus and wiped a bit of oil from the aperture blades.

Its a really nice lens now

There are small screws in it but messing around with them will alter the focus and aperture when you get into it., I left them well alone. You dont touch any screws whatsoever if you just want to clean the lens. You get the name ring off at the front using a piece of bicycle inner tuber or rubber glove and a suitable sized bottle top from a deodarant roll on, jar lid , bottle top, tin can or whatever turned anticlockwise.

You need something the right size and the rubber gives it a good grip.
