I hope someone is still checking this problem. The Canonette QL17 (GIII) has six elements in four groups. The front and rear groups consist of two lens bonded together with some kind of glue. It is this glue that the fungus attacks and grows in. I don't know of any way the lens can be seperated, therefore the fungus cannot be cleaned. But don't give up. I have taken pictures with fungus infected lens and they turned out great. Remember, the camera does not focus on the lens, but on the film plane. The fungus would tend to cut down on the light passing through the lens. Enough to affect exposure? Maybe, maybe not. But then you can always compensate for exposure. Use the camera. Find out for yourself. |
