Ikoflex 1b Cleaning Mirror (06)

Last thing to do is gently wipe the Mirror (NOT the Ground glass) with lens cleaning fluid.

 

I used a piece of a paper tissue (handkerchief) taped to the backend of a brush. Put 1 drop of the fluid on the tissue (NOT on the mirror) and start wiping.

 

Depending on how dirty the mirror was you may have to repeat this with always a fresh piece of paper and fluid.

 

I prefer the normal paper tissue above the special lens tissue. They are as soft but their web is tighter and they don't loose so many fibers.

But take care you don't take tissues which are treated with lotion, balsem, oil etc. !

 

I used the fluid from Kodak. When you have something else i suggest you first try it out on a little spot in the corner of the mirror. Last thing you want is a dissolving mirror surface.
