Re: Stripping Nikkor 43-86mm stuck glasses

So I didn't clean the middle group of lenses. I am pretty happy with the clarity of the lens overall.

After putting all together I have excessive softness on edges. I must have put a glass wrong way.

I have doubts about the second front glass. The first one is obviously convex side forward and concave to the back. I put the next one the concave part forward and convex part to the back so the opposite way to the first one. Do you think it's feasible? When I was stripping, that second glass fell off before I checked how it was placed so I wasn't sure, but had a feeling that it had been as I finally placed it.

If not the front elements, it may be the back ones.

I may buy another one to check, searching internet didn't produce any clarifying pictures.

Thanks for help!
