Re: What is Happening to My Lens?

Alcohol maybe, but acetone NEVER !

Acetone is a VERY strong solvent - it is nail varnish remover. Designed to dissolve things. Used to soften resin etc.

Sorry, but only a complete fool would even consider acetone to clean a lens, unless they wanted to create a paperweight.
