would the camera holding the lens be a radioactive risk as well? i mean , since its exposed to it directly.

I know this is a problem with some lenses but I didn’t know for this lens. However when I investigated it for a Yashinon-lens my conclusion was that the radiation was on a level where it wasn’t harmful (actually not much higher then background radiation and you also need to stay very close to the lens for a time to be exposed). It can also be a big difference between batches/models. But this is only what I’ve heard from others – so don’t take this for 100% sure ;)

I have this lens, but I’m worried because it has thorium inside the back glass :-( Thorium emits alfa beta and gamma rays that are potentially carcinogenic. Gamma ray is more dangerous.
Look shielding for gamma ray in this page:
