Because it is 'old" or because > it > is "defective", and does one relate to the other? Certainly not because it is old. Usually I don't treat my lenses with toothpaste ;-) I did it in the past with some two lenses that had a "dull" coating on the front lens. On an other occasion I tried to clean an old Summicron 50mm (7 element) which was very hazy. Allthough I wiped the element behind the aperture *very* carefully with a microfiber coth soaked with isopropanol, the coating came partially off. In order to have it recoated, I had to remove the old coating completely. I was sucessful in using toothpaste for this purpose.
