I highly suggest these for your lenses as opposed to an off-brand.

I have used this to do my Beseler Topcon RE Super and a few other lenses. It's a dollar or two per manual but well worth it to do it right.

Thanks, will pick some of that up. I just had the lid off my A1 getting the fungus off the eyepiece lens only to find that all of the fungus is in fact between the prism and focusing screen objective lens. Cunts like half a days work to pull all the bullshit electronics out of the way to get it so I gave up and put it back together for now.

For fungus, simple alcohol will work just fine or lens cleaner, basically any liquid cleaner that will not damage coatings or glue. Naptha and lighter fluid is for removing grease and oil specifically from focus helicoids.

The prism has a coating on it of silver which is why it's reflective. Isopropyl 91% alcohol should be okay to clean it.
