A much better alternative would be 180-grit sandpaper. Arthur To which, (in good humour) I'll reply with: ....anyone who can afford to see a psychiatrist can probably afford to use Leica equipment. Which begs another question, do you think Freud used a Rollie or a Leica ? But seriously, my very judicious use of solvents have not caused any visual problems. Or at least, has they have not manifested themselves in any detectable way over the last five years. This goes for my other non-Leica lenses (non-multicoated Nikkors and Pentax 67's) as well. Maybe you were thinking acetone APPLIED with 180 grit sandpaper...? Could you or someone elaborate as to why this is a no-no ? I'm all ears. Regards William
