Michael Geschlecht Posted January 15, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted January 15, 2013 Hello JCharlton, Â Welcome to the Forum. Â I think you might be seeing lights from above or behind you reflecting back from the surfaces of various elements, or their coatings, inside the lens. Â You migt try looking into the lens while moving it, twisting it, shifting it & turning it to see if the images move or go away. Â Best Regards, Â Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted January 15, 2013 Share #3 Â Posted January 15, 2013 I am certainly no expert but it looks like reflections as reported by the first response due to the angle you are photographing the lens surface. I would venture to guess that there is nothing wrong with the lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Michel Posted January 15, 2013 Share #4 Â Posted January 15, 2013 Hi, Your lens looks quite fine. Don't fret and just use it. However, if the front element starts looking like the one shown in the following link you might consider replacing the lens LensRentals.com - Front Element Scratches Jean-Michel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
