I have to clean up my iscorama 54 from fungus, I opened the glass,cleaned the fungus with isopropanol (cleaning alcohol), and put it under sunlight after it cleaned. It 's just working great now, I always put my lens under sun light every time I not used it! Don't collect to much lens and put it arround on shelf!, used your lens to take a picture , it will protect it from fungus ! ;-)
I thought it was plausible - at least for killing fungus, but definitely not for cleaning out the mycelia - right up until you ground up the pennies. Then I was increasingly horrified as you put the mixture inside the lens and shook it up! Thanks for making amazing film-making resources for years!
the zinc is on the inside of the US penny, it isn't an alloy. Take a new penny, cut the edge, heat it over a flame and the zinc will ooze out leaving the copper shell... That notwithstanding, I'm surprised you didn't try the hydrogen peroxide which kept coming up in the links you showed. 30% peroxide is good at cleaning out most organics (and you too, if you aren't careful). the 3% peroxide will sort of work at, but much much more slowly (and safely). If you actually want to use copper to kill fungus, copper sulfate in solution (yeah ions!) will sort of clean the glass and probably destroy the rest as well as make a lovely mess... However, lets not discuss what any of this does to the antireflective coatings on the insides! And then there is "piranha etch" when you want to clean the glass within a centimeter of its life (and kiss the housing goodbye!)... :D
Hi tito just a quick question my fuji xh1 shoots at 17 by 9 with my anamorphot adapter of 1.33x I think my calcs make this 2.51 is that the correct ratio for cinemascope
@@AnamorphicOnABudget i find some lens with a tini separator in the midle of it made of cooper, and it lens never have evidence of fungus inside! The question is why in the present this metal ring of cooper isnt put?
hey there, camera/lens tech here: hydrogene peroxide works very well. you need to disassemble the lens properly first tho. and the metal parts need to be cleaned too fungus can etch metal too
This seems like a very bad Idea. Just the thought of pouring powdered material in a lens just does not make sense. If you want to use copper, just use a copper solution; like the ones they use for eliminating fungus in tropical fish in aquariums. All you need is a couple of cotton swabs. No silly oven required.
Me: Meu deus, o Tito finalmente ficou doido, porra.... hein? O quê cara tá fazendo......ohhh kkkkkk! Ok, not gonna lie, you had me there in the first half lol.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Nah. Only if you speak in russian, you might add a little hint of "G" sound in but talking about it in english, its straight-ass HELIOS, Russians use "G" sound because they dont have H letter
It's a Russian lens, I think it's fair to call it by the name they gave it. I prefer when people call my name the proper way instead of the "english" way. I also know a lot of people here that get upset when other languages change the way their name sounds. :)
@@Cesko_Plny_Fialovejch_Zmrdu russians have letter H. X is pronounced as H in russian. Like words плоХо, хлеб, хорошо ect. The letter H in cyrillic is pronounsed like N.
@@kotence777 No. X is russian is pronounced as "CH". Hard to explain in english, but they just doesn't have a "H" sound so they replace it with "G" . My point is: If you talk about it in english, you should use its name in the same language since the word alone is the same, so theres no point of being overly language correct name wise

I stopped the video early and ruined all my lenses! Haha
It's bad to touch glass elements with your fingers due to skin oils, so using the copper particles to scrub the fungus off is a genius move!!1!11!!!
It worked thank you so much for the tutorial! Now my lens looks like it has a built-in promist!
The first time I opened a Helios was following a Retro Foto House tutorial.

The oven was a mistake. Should have microwaved it.
I knew it was too good to be true, but i wanted it to be true so bad.
Baking all my Iscoramas now, ill resume the video later, thanks Tito!

Lol, that magic bullet has some strong blades!
I cleaned plenty of molded lens. Use hydrogen peroxide and amminia.
copper is great to kill fungus.. on plants root lol
My jaw literally dropped at some point :D hahaha
Hahaaha, it shocks me a lot of people thought it was real until the end.
for a sec i thought i ve found the best solution..thanx anyway
Sorry to disappoint, man. The best solution is really to go in there and clean it, or pay someone to do it. :)
I clicked off the video midway through and ruined my ziess 50mm
Well, well, well... Hehehe

Thanks in advance
Actually i finished the video
And what did you think of it? :)
I am cleaning fungus with oxygen water
🧔 Its not easy making videos and comming up with ideas to create content but this video you made screams desperate to make one! 🙇
Love it!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This was pretty funny.
Lol I wanted this so much to be true
crazyyyyy
Justed wasted 4 minutes 38 seconds of my life!
Well, I wasted about 20h to make the video, and another 30s on this reply. :P
@@AnamorphicOnABudget but why? You could have used the time to do something more useful, like growing your hair 😁👍
@@wh0tube I already do that without spending any time! hahaha. I don't regret the 20h spent on the video, but I do regret the time spent on replies.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget then don’t! (Reply to comments) your humour will take some time to grow on people. Just like fungus 😁👍
I wish I could give 2 dislikes
That was kinda crazy, i even see tons of people baking their lenses with copper dust inside 😂
Not funny or even entertaining. A waste of time.
I guess you missed the title then.
WTF
2:11 They're copper plated. They're fine. If the copper heating think worked- which seems unlikely.
Thats work only in a soviet all metal lens! But your technik is awesome! Thankyou!
Hahaha thank you! Finally someone who appreciates the value of this tutorial!
@@AnamorphicOnABudget i find some lens with a tini separator in the midle of it made of cooper, and it lens never have evidence of fungus inside! The question is why in the present this metal ring of cooper isnt put?
Wow I almost mess up my anamorphic lens, but thx for the info on the last video.
Your videos sounds much better recently , i guess u did lot of effort on that part. it elevated quality of ur content.. keep growing
😂😂😂
so ho do i clean it?
yeah nice very informative with ful of bull
Glad you liked it! :P
Use UVC light it will kill all fungus.
hey there, camera/lens tech here: hydrogene peroxide works very well. you need to disassemble the lens properly first tho. and the metal parts need to be cleaned too fungus can etch metal too
Yes I used 6% HP on a cotton swab to get a small mold patch of a binocular prism once, worked fine.
Hey! Do you know how to clean balsam separation?
You have to take out the glue and reapply it. Not easy. I've never done it.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget You don't clean it, you fix it. it's feasible but probably better to let professionals do it.

i was checking the dates on my 10 en coins... i was TOTALLY going to do it.
How did you get real money in a fake country?
Me: Meu deus, o Tito finalmente ficou doido, porra.... hein? O quê cara tá fazendo......ohhh kkkkkk! Ok, not gonna lie, you had me there in the first half lol.
Looked like many of those pennys were after 1983... which was made from zinc not copper....
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Gotta learn to watch the whole video first... Sorry!
But copper is meant to solve this, I read this on Facebook
I know! In fact I heard a certain President told the press that fungus doesn't even exist, it's fungus news circulated by the fungus media.
I heard that COVID-19 kills fungus if you cough on the lens hard enough.
It reads HELIOS, not GELIOS
You said it right. It READS Helios but it SOUNDS Gelios.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Nah. Only if you speak in russian, you might add a little hint of "G" sound in but talking about it in english, its straight-ass HELIOS, Russians use "G" sound because they dont have H letter
