Leonard Stephen Gandy and I have argued for 15 years over the "haze" issue on 1950's Leica lenses. I have never seen much of this but then I am on the East Coast of the US and Stephen is on the West, so it might just be a regional thing. <he grins> The "element scratch problems" are generally the result of the drying of the drip-coatings Leitz was required to use during the time. I cover this in my LTM lens book. <he grins, again> Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
