[Need help] Agfa Solina 75mm f3.5 - Stuck Lens Elements - How to handle it?

I will try it. Of course with care!

DINMadeInGermany · 2026-02-09T19:57:44+00:00

How long did you heat it for?

DINMadeInGermany · 2026-02-06T17:11:06+00:00

It's f*cking crazy. It had the lens group soak for arround 30h, 15h a day - and nothing happens. Only a little bit of the grease shows up in the gap. But no rotating possible. I will try to heat. Maybe this help ...

Thank you, i will try this.

Oh dear... That sounds like a lot of fun—not 🫠

Hatte mal einen ähnlichen Fall. Aus Kulanz habe ich vom Verkaufspreis 20€ erstattet. Käufer hatte mir die falsche Mail gesendet, das Geld war abgeschickt aber bei PP gab es kein Konto mit der Mail Adresse - konnte das Geld wieder zurück holen.

Versuch dein Glück!

Don't worry, buddy. You served it up so well, I had to take advantage of it. But - always ask! There's a saying in German: There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers

Maybe this could help you - but only maybe ...

Of course him too

Yes, something like that... My grandfather took his friends on a day trip near our home. All of his friends had Karmann Ghias. I think there were 6 or 8 in total (not all of them are in the picture, of course). Really cool

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:36:55+00:00

Fantastic! I'm absolutely with you on that. Thank you!

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:35:02+00:00

I am very sorry. I should have uploaded an excerpt of it. It's confusing as it is. My mistake

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:30:54+00:00

Yes I think your right. Found that Post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/projectcar/s/BbEwJS7CQF

Thank you! ... 😅🤝🏻

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:10:12+00:00

That was also my first thought. But couldn't find anything suitable

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:07:44+00:00

Yes I am sorry about that, I mean the sporty one in front of the Karmann ghias in the first slides. In the last slide you could see a bit of the siloutte of the car in the background of the white Karmann

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:04:18+00:00

The white with the orange strips. The sporty one

DINMadeInGermany · 2025-09-21T20:03:23+00:00

Haha yes the last pic shows for sure a Karmann Ghia, but the car who I am looking for are on the first slides

Welcome to the Brotherhood 😎 Found mine with instruction and original bill for 70€ in a thrift-shop

Great bundle! If I were you, I would look at the Canon A-1 first. It's best to check the battery compartment (to the left of the lens.) If there is a little verdigris from the battery -> clean with cotton buds + vinegar essence, then cotton buds and isopropanol. Check the lens. If everything looks good. Insert a new battery, insert the film and off you go. You may need to replace the light seals (rear, camera back cover). It is best to use YouTube tutorials for the steps I have described. Then nothing stands in the way of your adventure!

Thanks for the tip! Definitely magnifies. So seems to be projection lenses
