Sorry if this has bee mentioned elsewhere, need some urgent lens.
I recently noticed that my Canon 25mm/3.5 which I use on my Leica M's has either some serious haze, cleaning marks and/or fungus damage on the elements. As they are so small am unable to see which elements are affected. I bought this lens over a year ago and really should have checked it better, as nothing was particularly noticeable at the time, thinking that the comparatively soft, hazy scans were simply due to age and some minor hazing so was shocked when I held it up to a strong light source the glass was practically opaque! Can anyone recommend where I can get this sorted in the UK? preferably London area so I can take it down to have it looked at? Naturally it would have to be someone who is familiar wit this particular lens and how to do a thorough dismantling and cleaning and the elements may well need polishing and re-coating.
Thanks
