Grant -- You don't have to give up on that 100/2.0! I have one that's not
for sale, a truly great lens. A CLA probably would be less than $50, much
less than the lens is worth, and worth doing. I'd probably try to get in
there myself if it was just the last element, but you decide how much
courage you have... If you still have the lens you should look into getting
it cleaned, it would be simpler than finding another. You WILL enjoy this
lens when you get a good one!
