If a film camera has fungus.. does that mean that the lenses that were used on it are automatically 'infected' for lack of a better word. Even if the glass is clean, does one expect there will be spores within and if so.. what can be done? I know, professional cleaning, however in lieu of that since it's old glass and without replacement parts should something be damaged in the cleaning, there will be few who want to take this job on. What can be done instead? I've heard of UV light, like standing it outside?.. all day in the sun. My husband also has access to industrial uv curing equipment and a few seconds of flash from one of those lamps would be far more powerful than the sun bake. Does UV also kill the spores or only active mold?</p></blockquote><p></p>
