Hi All,
In the process of purchasing Zeiss Contax AEG lenses, to then Cine Mod them. It's been going pretty good, but I've received one that I'm not too sure about.
A 28mm.
Upon inspecting the inside of the lens using a high powered flashlight, I saw something that could be the beginnings of haze, dirt, something else?
I've attached a photo for reference (if anyone has any expertise in this area), I would appreciate your input. It's only around the outer edge of the inside of the glass. Hasn't encroached on the center yet or near it really.
It was advertised as:
＜Optical system＞
There is no scratch.
There is no fungus.
There is no haze.
There is no balsam separation.
There is no dirt.
There is a tiny dust.
I'm okay with the dust (seems more on the photo than to the naked eye), but I am concerned about what's circled in red. I'm debating whether to return it as I'm worried this will be something that worsens over time, and wasn't specified in the listing on Ebay.
