This was after my initial cleanup with cold cream and naptha (about a month or so ago)-The streaks did not go away.



This is a after a more recent rigorous cleanup using other methods-that may not be the best to share, because it might ruin your lens if not done properly.
I am quite happy with the results as the images have some pop, partially because of the weather. Its sharp even @f1.9 which all these images are.






Took the lens out today for a test-














Best regards

Amazing transformation and the results suggest the effort was well worth it.

Please do share the method you used. If you are too shy to admit butchery, I would appreciate a PM Smile

Primoplan makes such a bokeh feast!

I agree with Ladenia not to mention his cleaner Smile. Especially with Meyer / Pentacon lenses sometimes coating just peels off
together with fungus. But fungus is gone Smile.

+1 : Take care ! The inner surface of the front lens is very very very fragile.
Mine is clear and without fungus now, but with micro-scratches. & I'm obliged to use a hudge lenshood...

But may be the method can be useful for other lenses as well. Actually any intervention to the lenses can be potentially harmful. For example someone won't be able to put everything together after disassembling. So you can say you won't post the assembling/disassembling instructions because it can be dangerous.
