Hi Neil -
Is IPA what I think that it is, - that is Indian Pale Ale ??
Or am I missing something here, in relation to this vastly spread camera/lens disease?
Please enlighten me...

I think the sugars in that might make your camera stickier !
It's isopropyl alcohol I mean .
Don't mix your bottles up while cleaning the camera , I can't imagine the latter tastes so good !
.
If your cleaning your camera get some stocking net cloth . We sell them over here a dish cloths , it's a very coarse cloth so cleans things easier .
A piece of fine cloth would tend to slide around easier and would take more effort .
Well, this clears that up!
Now my other question is: does the alcohol just take away the stickiness, or does it remove the rubbery coating altogether, thus bringing up the metal or plastic surface underneath?
The rubbery coating on the camera back is very very thin , the whole layer degrades causing the stickiness .
Cleaning it with IPA removes it altogether . What remains is the plain , smooth black plastic of the camera back .
Looks nice and smart , the horrible stickiness has gone ( forever !) . Not quite as grippy as original , but not an issue to me .
Earlier cameras didn't have this coating on anyway , so no difference from them .
Cleaned up Dynax 7 . Usable again !
Great! - specificly for that one! My favourite analogue camera
Thanks for the info!
