Hi!

I have a Rolleicord III(Xenar), that has some problem with fungus between the lens elements. It can be seen when i open the shutter, and hold it against a lightsource.

Can i clean the lens elements with lighterfluid? or will i damage the coating?

If you move your cursor to the top of the screen and click on "repair manuals" you will find a list of manuals including Rollei cameras for free download. There may be some info there.

You can use rubbing alcohol or ammonia based Windex.
