clear nail polish is collodion so it makes sense it stays put. The mustard works very very well, especially with pretzl lenses . With fancy lenses
you really need grey poupon nothing else will do.

But K-Y is water soluble, so it's easier to clean it off your lens. It's also a decent shutter lubricate in freezing temperatures.

I don't care how good it is, there's no way I'm chancing having my wife find a jar of KY in my camera bag.

Any Leica lens - to test viewers worthiness to detect the Leica Glow, or to find someone willing to say "but the king has no clothes!"

My man! So many people fail to see the relation of the 'glow' to the films of the time.
