Hazy lense (self.analogcommunity)
submitted 1 year ago by Mikug to c/analogcommunity
 

My amar 4.5/105 looks hazy whith Iris opened up, closing the iris helps. Is there something I can do to make the lense sharp at 4,5?

Short of cleaning the elements, probably not much you can do.

The lense was cheap so I'll give it a try

Update: So apparently hydrogen peroxide can do wonders to a lense :p f4.5 f11

maybe try having a silica gel packet stored with the lens? although i believe that more for helping/preventing fog, not haze. i would try to make do for now, and eventually see about a paying for professional cleaning, or DIY and take the a further loss if u damage it. if it cant be solved with a lens wipe on each side, then its likely the inside elements :(
