Thanks RW.

A question about the lens. Looking through it there seems to be a slight haze on at least one element. I've read that this lens is prone to this defect. Holding the focus ring and rotating the lens it seems that this haze is on one of the back elements.

Question can I get the lens serviced and the element(s) re-polished and if so where to go in the UK?

I notice that the diaphragm has an amazing 15 blades giving an almost perfect circle.
