I have had the lens opened and cleaned up already. I then asked the
technician to leave outside the "damaged" element. Its the smallest element
about over an inch diameter only as I mention attached to the center of the
front element but on the backside. One side of it has a mirror coating as
its opaque, the other side is clear where I see the hazing.
Wouldn't that be the glue? The mirror coating should be a front surface
mirror (i.e. the light bounces directly off the mirror coating and never
goes through the glass) and the other side -- presumably where it attaches
to the back of the front element -- really shouldn't make any difference to
anything.
