When I got the lens back from KEH I couldn't see anything amiss which is why I sent it off to MPB (who have only recently come up on my radar). When I get it back I will take another look and then see if I can find someone to give me a quote on a cleaning. Sadly I don't know any young photographers who could use it but maybe my semi-local camera store (Bedford's) will. --Bob On Sat, Jun 19, 2021 at 6:25 AM Don Dory via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> wrote: > Sonny has the correct answer.
