So I took a $300 flyer on a Canon 10-22mm USM lens on Ebay. It has some issues the worst of which appear to be spots on the front element as pictured. I have been assured a 7 day refund period so I took a chance here. The lens will be here tomorrow. I am guessing this is on the outside of the lens as you can see some in the area where the filter screws on also.
Wondering what I can use to clean it that will not destroy any of the lens coating. I imagine I will first try to scrape it off with my fingernail. If I am unable to clean it, any clue what a new front element would run from CPS?
All advice appreciated.
