Ahhmmm.... I was not able to get between the two front elements of the Kaleinar 2.8/100. I guess they are glued together.

At the risk of saying something completely wrong... I THINK that more or less most modern lenses have at their inside at least one couple of cemented glasses.
So although the number of uncemented glasses is higher, and therefore also is the percentage of single-glasses that are attacked by fungus, I think that a risk exists, like I said, in most modern lenses that are a bit more complex than simple triplets.

@ Attila:

Regarding cleaning Meyer lenses - the internal coating is very easily damaged especially if you use Eclipse fluid.

I found out the hard way.... Sad

I never care about coating, lenses are fine without that. I have many superb not coated lenses.

Agree on the latter, however it might affect the resale value a bit because depending on how bad it is damaged, you can see the marks when looking through the lens.
