Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Ai fungus cleaning and focus ring service

A fast Nikon standard lens needing both optical cleaning and attention to the focusing mechanism.

This Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Ai needed two kinds of work: optical cleaning and mechanical service of the focusing ring.The glass was inspected for fungus and the helicoid checked for old grease or uneven movement. Both issues have to be solved before the lens feels reliable again.A fast standard lens deserves this kind of complete check because small defects show quickly in use.
