Hi Jim and others wondering about these rear elements,
The story I've seen printed is that the "entire" USA stock of these lenses was
stored in a damp warehouse in NY. And in these conditions the rear
elements succumbed to fungus. I'm surprised at that, I would have expected
them to be better sealed in the boxes etc.
I'd be interested to see a scan of a shot done with one of these affected
lenses, and a closeup of the affected elements to see the nature and extent
of the damage.
Cheers, Brian
