Hvx Lens Cleaning Pix

[digitalislandmedia]

I got a request from Jay Truesdale to repeat a posting I recently did on another list.

The posting concerned removing the HVX lens in order to clean /repair etc.

I had sand stuck in my focus ring after a shoot on a beach in the Keys. We are so busy lately I have no time to send the cam out.

If any of you ever need to fix your lens in the field and cannot wait for a repair or replacement cam, you may find the following info. usefull.

To view pics and read caution notes on this easy but DELICATE procedure just click here: http://www.digitalislandmedia.com/hvx200_lens_repair.html

While there you can check out some HVX footage shot recently in the Keys. Just click on "reel" then choose "lifestyle"

Well, id pay some attention, maybe i am the party pooper here, but i guess this is rather something that should be done by pana service, id assume that doin this on your own even could break your warrenty....just my 2 cents..!

Hey some will do this on their own... some won't and will send the camera to Panasonic
(can't say Panny, that still means Panavision to me. Yes I still have one foot firmly planted in film)
It is great however that the information is out there.

Yes, this a good thing to know.. After, sure, we're all reponsible of what we do.
