I just disassembled my lens and cleaned the element, unfortunately it is
only back to around 80% clear, under strong light there is still some haze
seen. The problem element is the same as my last two lenses and I found the
lens has been disassembled by someone before I believe it was serviced for
the same reason, now have to see if UV can reduce the problem.
