The answer was on the tip of my tongue

So I was inspired to open up my scale focus Bessa with the uncoated Skopar and gave it a sniff. It's a mysterious odor, faintly vitrinous, but on the sanitary side of that scale.

Not what I'd call the fragrance of French kissing.

It doesn't look like it needs a slurp, but I may see what my dog decides. At 17, she's about as old in dog years as the Bessa. She may just give it a lick of survivor solidarity.

Not with camera lenses, but with binoculars while birding in muddy, wet conditions, yes. Much better than using a shirt with mud splatters on it and putting permanent scratches in the coatings! 😀

Who wants to own up to having done the same thing? 😉

For those afraid of germs, get a helper.

You know you're well to do when you can hire a permanent lens licker to
do your licking for you.

Does anyone want to write an ad for Craigslist NYC or SFO or Berlin that begins "Lens Licker Desired"? Could use this thread as the reply-to. "Summilux experience preferred but must be willing to lick any old Argus at a yard sale."

Wait--is there any RFFer wealthy enough to sponsor this? If so, here's my contact info. Photos of my tongue and recently licked lenses by request....

lol,

a supplement Ad could be for a more higher qualified (or desperate) person, for the old lenses, Eurynar as well, but experience is necessary
