     Hi Christ,
     
        If your summaron is a band new one. I afraid that the "mist" over
     the lens element is a thin film of oil deposition. At the old days, 
     the development of lubricant is not so fasinating and the oil is 
     capable of vapouring after a long time. If the lens was used for a 
     long time, the oil may deposit on the lens and the aperture blades.

Hello.
     
I was hoping to tap into the collective knowledge of the LUG about the 
bugeyes on a 35/2.8 Summaron. I recently purchased this lens and after 
careful inspection I've noticed that the rectangle part of the eyes is 
a little cloudy. The glass that seems affected is the curved one on the 
inside. Is this something that I could carefully disassemble and clean 
myself or is this aligned like the lens itself? Could this be dirt or 
is it possible for this part of the eyes to separate? The rest of the 
lens looks as if it was hardly ever used and it was still in the 
original box. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
     
Regards,
Christopher
