[LargeFormat] Silica Packs to avoid the Fungus

[philip Lambert]

 Actually I admire your courage: stripping and cleaning lens elements is not
for the nervous. My 210mm was sent to a professional for dust-removal and he
wrecked it.  I got the second hand price.  Incidentally is there any way to
improve a lens with a broad  mark on the rear glass coating? I did hear that
a mark on the rear coating does not affect the image but I doubt it.  Philip
