Shoutout to the older guy at the swap meet who fixed my viewfinder haze

He told me he'd been cleaning those with a drop of lighter fluid on a cotton swab for forty years... something about the specific evaporation rate. Anyone have a gentler modern alternative that works as well?

That "specific evaporation rate" thing is actually a solid point. Maybe just use the lighter fluid but with a tiny, tiny drop on a microfiber cloth instead of a swab. Less risk of it getting somewhere it shouldn't.

Yeah, the microfiber cloth trick saved my controller last time.
