Checking of Wide and Standard Lens
- First you should look for any scratches on the front and rear glasses
against the reflection of fluorescent lamp.
- Turn the focusing ring to see if it is smooth.
- Point the lens to a fluorescent lamp*, look throughthe lens from lens
mount side, it should be clear, then try to focus your eyes to each lens
inside to see if any scratches or dirt inside. A little fine dust should
be okay in most cases.
*Caution: don't point to high intensity point
soure lamp, such as incandescent, halogen or compact fluorescent lamp as
the strong light might hurt you eyes.
- Check the lens-release to see if it works then carefully mount the
lens to a camera (use your own camera if possible, since you know your
camera well) and look through the viewfinder to a distance object, focus
the lens to see if the infinity mark aligned. Don't forget to check the
image quality at the edges of your viewfinder. Focus your lens to close
objects and check if the view is clear.
- Turn to minimum aperture, look from the lens front, release the shutter
to see if the diaphragm works.
