1. Bizarre problem, Barry. Orange oil (oil, not juice, several brands in
grocery stores and organic gardening centers) is an excellent deodorizer,
but I would hesitate to apply it to a Zuicko except for lightly wiping the
exterior with a cloth only slightly dampened in orange oil. How about
exposing to lots of airflow and sunshine exposure after the wipe?
2. There is some lint in the flock at the back on my 300/4.5. I ignore it.

Subject: [OM] 300 4.5 cleaning Q and smoke
Date: Wed, 12 May 1999 14:09:08 -0500 (CDT)
I just got a nice deal on a 300/4.5 via eBay, but two things perplex
me:
1) The previous owner was obviously a smoker - other than leaving the
lens out of the bag for a week or so, is there a good way to get rid
of smoke smell on a lens?
2) At the back of the lens, there is an area covered by some sort of
felt-like material between the back element and the lens mount. There
is some fiber and lint in this area that won't easily give up to my
lens brush. Is there a good way to clean this area, or should I just
not worry about it?
