Fatspider. I love humour but it is many faceted, and no!! I did not get it but I understand what you mean. Stefan is never far away at any time of day. Apologies for my lack of comprehension.

.......Yes we do, all 12 of you......

Now!! Just to prove my point. Fatspider... There is a comment I don't get

Stefan, You are a treasure to this Forum. Your knowledge and helpfulness always blesses me. Like Don said, there are some of us who know what we mean but are not good at conveying this in words. The look and body language is often needed to make sense of what is intended.
I understand fully your intention in discovering what was said that did not convey fully your meaning but do not be disappointed if this is not forthcoming. The old saying...react in haste and repent at leasure comes to mind. It is the story of my life. Relax, Stefan, we need people like you on this Forum.

When I mentioned to mowog that I would like to know how he managed the cleaning operation, I certainly did not expect such a comprehensive response. I am facinated by the proceedure, beyond my shaky hands. Thanks mowog. You have given me, and many others an insight to how a lens is constructed and in a way that clearly demonstrates your abilities. Your star has risen greatly.
By the way, which team do you support? If it was a London team then match of the day2 was poor watching for you. I dare not say who I support and who benifited greatly by the results!!!

Thanks again, Matt. I have a working ME Super. My choice for film is my Z1. I do see ME's on the web in not working condition and don't see them moving, so, I guess it is drawer room or the bin.

And the call us 'man.kind'. The beast in us appalls me at times.

Thanks, Matt. Presumably it is a standard thread that turns anticlockwise to unscrew. It only compounds the problem if you get this wrong.
Mowog is going to try to redeem this lens. Just want to see it used. It was part of a ME Super plus lens that they had priced at £12 until I pointed out that the mirror was stuck and the lens full of fungi. They agreed a price of £5. It would have ended in the bin otherwise.
I now have two ME Supers with mirror problems. Is there anyone wanting to redeem these for the cost of the postage, I wonder?
regards Thoramay.

mowog. If you are keen to play with it, PP me your adddress. If you succeed and get it functioning again, that would please me that it has been redeemed. I want nothing more than a donation to your nearest Hospice.

Matt. Thanks for your time and info. tempted to have a go. Which unscrews first and which way? It cost me just £5, so no problems. I mostly felt sorry for the charity shop. I have two A versions, so I don't need it for myself. Perhaps someone more capable that me would like to have a go at cleaning it and using it for the price of the postage.

Picked up the above in a charity shop. It would appear to be infested with, what I suspect is fungus. Any advice of whether this is a bin job or can it be sorted within its obvious value.
