>>4476669Quick update because I basically said fuck it:
I disassembled the front element group with relative ease and gave things a clean down with optical solution. Unfortunately it appears the speckled haze is on the interior of a welded(?) element to which I can't for the life of me get to without probably dremeling through. Oh well, I'm glad I gave it a shot.
How the fuck do problems form on such a place? There's no porous material or gaps where moisture or dust can get to. Maybe it was stored in shitty humid conditions and the coating just seppku'd itself?
