    Because you thought all that WWII battle against fungus in optical instruments was just invented?

    And tbe coating was invented in 1935. So maybe these lenses were already coated

    Not convinced by your examples!

    The tengor has a common balsam "growing snowflake" problem.
    The Kodak has "whispy" fungus, which has no attachment to the lens surface.
    The long restoration says "the fungus was cleaned off with alcohol" - which is my experience too!

    Did you see what age the camera and its lens have? Photographic lenses coated in 1935? Continue dreaming. How about just saying you were wrong? Costs too much?

    Again - and the WWII battle against fungus in optical instruments was all invented? What a case!
