Re: Vintage film cameras
Lordy don't use that, get something pure. If you think you'll need a lot e.g. for soaking then you could do the first pass with white spirit, it takes a while to evaporate but if you were going to follow it with IPA anyway then it'd be fine. Both will be a bit more harsh on paint though, be warned. If you can get lighter fluid then use it. I have some IPA but I mainly use it for cleaning things like the film chamber or outside, where there is God knows what on it. It is good for glass but methanol is better. That said I've taken to cleaning glass with lighter fluid (equivalent - hexane) then methanol to make sure it's degreased as some spots of smears can be hard to shift with just methanol.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Fair enough, I'll try and track down some lighter fluid. Yoko, did you say you had tried some vintage glass on your OM-D?

Re: Vintage film cameras
I wouldn't use isopropyl to clean with. Its just good for breaking down congealed grease on frozen moving parts or removing residual glue.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Glad I asked before buying! Don't want to ruin anything.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Yes. Just having a play round yesterday. Put the lenses on and fired a few shots off on AP. Next time, I need to set the camera to MF and enable focus peaking to do it properly but the lenses work OK and produce good results.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Hmmm. Not convinced that one will catch on. I like to wind straps round my wrist and carry the camera in my hand. I'll stick to pockets.
