I'll probably have Van Stelten give it a cleaning and, if necessary, a
recoating. The latter is probably not necessary. I shun bright light of
any kind.

Can you say just a bit of denatured alcohol on a cotton bud.

I'd best put it on my Hexar RF and leave the f-stops be.

My only comment is that if the f-stop ring is a bit stiff, you will 
rotate the collapsing shaft rather than the f-stop and this can be a 
"pain". Optically it has always been wonderful.
