I had not heard that might be a problem with the 50/3.5.  Even 
though I've now got a 50/2, the little 3.5 is still my walkabout 
macro.

And as far as the 65-200, at least mine, although when shining a 
flashlight ("electric torch" for some of you) through the lens, it 
looks really bad, it has surprisingly little effect on the photos 
taken with it.  I was using mine quite happily until I heard about 
this problem that I had never noticed.  Ignorance is bliss, and 
I'm sorry I looked.  Now it just sits forlornly, all alone, on a 
shelf, no longer getting to go out for adventures.  :-(
