I've only had really good experience with the PEC products.  They are a
fairly high volatility family of esters so evaporation removes almost all
traces of compound from film etc.  Also, asthmatics nearby weren't offended
although that should be a case by case trial.  Last, PEC-12 will melt
plastics used in some camera's and lenses so I would test carefully and
diligently before using them on anything besides film.  I say this because
some prior discussions indicated that Leica was using "plastic" retaining
rings to hold lens elements in place and use of a solvent on the exterior
risks leakage to the interior.
