This was a cheap acquisition. No obvious visible sign of defect in images when using it (bottom line on a cheap relatively light 180mm lens)
It does have discolouration behind (or inside) the front element.
Here are some poor attempts to capture it (most visible below the word \'Elmar\')
It has a slight green/brown tinge to it and looks a little like condensation/oil.
There\'s little hope of getting it looked at here for any price that would make it worthwhile.
I just wondered what it was - and if I can get at it to try removing it? Is the back of the front element accessible in this lens?
Thanks.
