A question for Zuiko users,

I have begun to notice what I think is internal lens flare in a couple of my 
Zuiko zooms.  The SC  75-150 f/4 (my USD25 fang!), shown in several prints 
I picked up yesterday, and the 35-70 f/3.6.  I have one example on-line at

http://homepages.caverock.net.nz/~bj/photography/zuikoholics/cup-mac.htm

There is marked lightening of bark colour on the RHS where the dark tree 
branches border an area of bright diffuse light.

But I won't display the other just yet as it may end up being part of the 
current TOPE show; however the general situation is the same; dark abruptly 
moving to bright light. The effect is just like the loss of contrast and 
general 
fogging that results from fungus in a lens - but I'm sure these two are OK in 
that regard. Or were last time I looked.

Have any of you seen this phenomenon also?

I will probably test both subjects with other lenses of which I suspect no 
such problem.

Brian
