Tips on maintenance of your Leica camera and

lenses

If your Leica is to be stored for a longer period of

time, please remove the batteries and make sure

the camera as well as the accessories are kept in

a dry, well-ventilated place. Photo cases that

have got wet should be emptied, to ensure that

your equipment is not damaged by moisture and

any leather tanning agent residue. To prevent

fungal growth during use in hot and humid tropical

climates, the camera equipment should be ex-

posed to as much sun and ventilation as possible.

Storage in airtight containers is only recommend-

ed if an additional dessicant, such as silica gel, is

used. As any dirt is also a breeding ground for

micro-organisms, care should be taken to keep

the equipment clean.

All the mechanically operating bearings and glid-

ing surfaces in your LEICA have been lubricated.

Please remember this when the camera is not in

use for a longer period of time: To prevent the

lubricating points from becoming tacky, the

camera should be cocked with no film loaded

every three months and released at all shutter

speeds. Repeated adjustment and use of all other

operating elements, such as the frame selector, is

also recommended. The focusing and aperture

setting rings for the lenses should also be moved

from time to time.

A lens works like a burning glass when bright

sunlight shines on the front of the camera. The

camera should never, therefore, be put aside with-

out protection against strong sunlight.

Damage to the interior of the camera can be

prevented by using the lens cover and keeping the

camera in the shade (or directly in the case).

To remove stains and fingerprints, the camera and

lens are wiped with a clean, lint-free cloth. We

recommend microfiber cloths, that are stored in a

protective container. They can be washed in tem-

peratures up to 40°C (without fabric softener,

never iron!). Rougher dirt in hard-to-reach corners

of the camera body can be removed with a small

brush.

Please do not use any liquid cleaning agents to

clean the camera housing. Dust and lint inside the

camera (e.g. on the film guide) is best removed

carefully using a softhair brush, which has been

repeatedly cleaned with ether and then dried.

Care must be taken not to damage the shutter

curtain, with the handle of the brush, for example.
