Hi Jim and others wondering about these rear elements,

The story I've seen printed is that the "entire" USA stock of these lenses was 
stored in a damp warehouse in NY. And in these conditions the rear 
elements succumbed to fungus.  I'm surprised at that, I would have expected 
them to be better sealed in the boxes etc.

I'd be interested to see a scan of a shot done with one of these affected 
lenses, and a closeup of the affected elements to see the nature and extent 
of the damage.

Cheers, Brian
