I don't have the stones to disassemble mine. Van Stelten needed to get
inside to clean the bazillion aperture blades anyway. I was lucky in
that mine had a protective filter on it since the time it was bought
long ago, so I still have pretty good coatings.

Hello again.

My Summarit with the separation looks peculiar.  I am now not sure that
it is separation; it doesn't have the rainbow color look of separation.

I am thinking that it might just need a good internal cleaning.  It has
plenty of dust inside.  So - my questions:

- is the Summarit of the vintage of soft internal coatings, that will
wipe off if a cleaning is attempted?
- is the Summarit straight-forward to disassemble?

I shot some images, and they look okay, but they were not shot under the
greatest of conditions.

Regards,

Vick Ko
