Just the other day I received a very expensive Zeiss lens full of acid mold. No amount of verbal descriptions, videos or pictures can provide enough information to provide me with enough information upon which to base a reasonably accurate repair time and expense estimate. The only advice I can possibly provide to anyone who has worked himself into a corner by being seduced by do-it-yourself instructions, a U-Tube video or any other kind of instructions or advice that has resulted in damage is I cannot base a repair estimate on anything other than a direct examination of the equipment. Cameras and lenses are complex, full of tricks, made of very expensive or unavailable parts and when a well meaning unqualified, inexperienced, and under equipped person works on them trouble is likely, damage highly probable and success is virtually impossible.
If anyone wants to enjoy these as an innocent form of entertainment there's no harm in this but attempting to repair, service or modify your equipment using these instructions is a more like taking a scalpel and operating on your big toe than it is anything else. I hear from people regularly who have been become victims of these sites and other media wrongness resulting in damaged equipment. Repair 'manuals" are regularly sold on Ebay. The Internet is full of self-help sites providing "advice" about do-it-yourself camera and lens repair. All other Contarex lenses are the object of the following warning sections. The only exceptions to these Contarex lens warnings are the Contarex 250 mm Olympia Sonnar, the 180 mm Olympia Sonnar, the two Zoom lenses, the 35mm Schneider, the Bellows Tessar, and the 21mm Biogon. This section applies only to the ContaREX lenses and DOES NOT apply to the Contax I, II or III, IIa or IIIa Rangefinder cameras nor does it apply to the ContaFLEX line of 35mm SLR cameras or the ContaFLEX TLR.
