After posting a WTB ad here a few weeks ago and getting lots of input from lots of nice people from this Forum, I managed to get hold of a Fujinon 125mm/5.6 W lens via the big auction site.
Well, the lens arrived the other day and I'm trying to decide if it's a keeper or not. The lens generally looks very nice -- smooth aperture, speeds sound good, and the glass generally looks good. HOWEVER, when I look straight down into the lens, I see some kind of silver speckling (for lack of a better term) along the perimeter in the interior of the lens. It LOOKS like it's on the metal that's part of lens body rather than the glass, but it's hard to tell because of the lens elements.
Thus, I don't think it's due to separation of the elements, and I'm very sure it's not lens fungus, but, well, it just doesn't look right.
What do people think? Do those of you who own this type of lens see anything similar when looking into the lens? Is it just the kind of metals Fuji uses?
Thanks for any input on this.
