<p><strong>Ben, mine had that hazy coating too (and some fungus there). Easy job to clean them though, as you say.</strong></p>
<p >I also have one Spiratone 400mm f/6.3 lense that I bought in the 1970. I used it with diferent canon bodies in thoses days. I read your comments with interest since I bought an eos 40 d last year and would like to try to fit the spiratone to it.
