I've used it on hundreds of cameras (lettering too).
The only instances of lettering being harmed was when it was already loose or 
flaking (the cleaning simply rubbed some more off). It was certainly not 
dissolved by the lighter fluid.

Hmmmm. Is it capable of cleaning the lettering, for instance on a Leica lens ?
I think I'd find myself being somewhat squeamish about using it on optical 
surfaces although the (possible) Leica-sanctioned mixture that I mentioned 
would probably not be much less nasty.
Thanks
Dave

For a few years I was buying, fixing up if necessary, trying out and then 
selling classic cameras.
I've used lighter fluid on practically all of them (lenses, bodies and 
mechanisms) without any adverse effects.
