I am looking to buy a Canon 50 f1.8 LTM lens.
I have read in a few places that they, and a few other lenses, mostly have fog/mist on the elements.
If that is the case, is it easily cleaned by a professional; or is it something like age has taken
a toll on an actual element and the glass itself has gone misty and is completely un-cleanable?
Thanks for any information. (I realise that fungus is a completely different issue)
