Having managed to restore a dead Werra 3 to some semblance of working order (big bouquet to a CCRF member - you know who you are!), I now fancy a go at the lens on its stablemate. This is a Werra 1 with the ordinary Tessar lens. It has a small colony of fungus that looks to be on the back of the front element, and the rear element has a most impressive growth across it as well. I have nothing to lose (except screws, small pieces etc) by trying to remove the fungus, and I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has done so. I realise that I may find the lens is knackered underneath it, I'm not rushing madly in in the hope of finding a perfect lens underneath. As I work in a lab I can get hold of chemicals etc (I've heard about cold cream, but I can't imagine it killing fungal spores), but I just wonder about concentrations to use and so on. Thanks for the help, Adrian |
