    ...funny, I was thinking about writing a visual thesis (if all else failed), entitled "How flare ruined my style or how I managed to turn ebay madness into aesthetic nirvana." Alternate titles might include: "Too much softness for one man to bear" and "You can't see the forest for the flare" ...sorry, the alcohol fumes are going to my brain

    on a happy (lucky) note, the denatured alcohol removed the fungus for the time being

    Thanks for reminding me Don. If the peroxide don't get me, the cyanide will...

    Darryl - quit dreaming! The fungal hyphae will still be around. Make sure you stack a dessicant with your lens for the next few months at least.

    Guys: I got a Wollensak F6.3 5x7 lens that was fungus and soft haze , I use a small drop of Orange cleaner on the lens and in a minute wiped it off let lens sit for a day before putting it back to gether and all is fine at the moment but I do check it from time to time:
