I couldn't agree more; less is more. Even least may be too much. I'm not as 
hung up on cleaning filters though. I'll probably email Gerry Smith, the 
Canadian dean of Leica repair, to get his input, just to be sure.
cheers
Dave

I dunno, many of the older lens components were cemented with  organic
materials.

As far as buying, fixing up and selling, how do you know the long term
effects of lighter fluid on the lenses?  You don't have them any more.

I think I'd just be careful.  Less is more with lenses.
