CLA FAQ
Q Why CLA?Even "mint"-appearance vintage lenses typically collect significant amounts of grime introduced into their interiors through regular use. Additionally, they typically use lubricating greases that break down and separate over time, allowing oil to creep onto and slow delicate aperture blades or to outgas and cause hazing or create a substrate upon which fungus can grow Unless you find an original boxed and well-stored sample, chances are that this kind of contamination is already in your lens, even if it hasn't exhibited symptoms yet.
Q: What services do you performon the lens before sale?With the lens disassembled, I perform afull CLA (Clean Lube Adjust). This entails cleaning out any internaland external soiling, cleaning aperture blades of grease that can slowing, re-lubing the focus helical (even seemingly fine "mint" vintage lenses typically have grit and degraded grease in their helicals), and adjusting allcomponents for tightness and accuracy. Where there is extensive dustor internal lens soiling, I will disassemble lens cells and clean offsurfaces; however, it is my general philosophy to keep lens elementsin their factory position when at all possible to ensure optimumperformance. Q: DUST? What do you mean DUST?A: Allvintage lenses have dust in them. In fact, they had dust in them whenthey were brand new from the factory! This is because prior tothe advent of very modern sealed designs, lenses were not puttogether in a clean room environment, and the natural static chargeof the glass tends to attract dust particles. Coupled with the opendesigns used in these lenses, it is virtually impossible to find anyvintage lens without some degree of dust particles visible when youlook closely through the lens. All of my CLA lenses have at minimum theexterior internal cell surfaces wiped with a dust-free, lab-gradeoptical tissue and then blown off with an air bulb prior toreassembly and thus have a significantly below average amount of dust for a vintagelens.
