Long story short,
I have a bunch of CY lenses from Germany, among them a couple got fungus, the 50/1.7 and 100/2 have very slight traces on the back of the front element, I got the rubber circles to unscrew the front element, I started off the 100/2 as I want to take it with me for a trip but found out that it is a block along with another element and dunno how to unscrew just the front one off the combo, any clue how to try that?
I am waiting to get isopropyl alcool to try and clean it, also have to buy gloves and eventually a market to paint the borders in black as recommended by some tutorials, still if I handle to tear it apart...
The traces of fungus are very very light but I am afraid it will spread and I have tree more lenses who got it, one of them was sent to Nikon very long time ago, they charged a lot and the problem is back so I rather try it myself, nothing to loose on these old lenses and too expensive to send them to a repair (which I did with the Distagon 35/1.4 and Planar 85/1.4).
Thanks for your attention
