How do you clean your Rolleiflex's focusing screen


Recommended Posts

If it's a later screen and made of plastic, clean gently with soap, water and fingers and allow to air dry.

 

If it's made of glass, clean gently with soap, water and fingers and air either with cotton or plain white facial tissue. You can help it along with some compressed air.

I would rather take it to the next optician and have it ultrasonic-cleaned. Wrap it in a lint free cloth afterwards. If you wrap it in plastic foil make sure that there is no grease from fingertips etc on the plastic.

 

As mentioned by others, you can also try to wash it with dishwashing agent and let it dry in a dust free place, standing on one edge (with spacers under the edge), otherwise liquid will collect up on the lower edge and will cause stripes.
