Update: that CLA-8 solvent trick from the guy at the Columbus swap meet actually worked on the hazy lens
Picked up a beat up 135mm at the Columbus photo swap back in March and the front element was so hazy I almost passed on it for $15. The old guy at the table next to me told me to soak a microfiber in CLA-8 solvent and let it sit on the glass for 20 minutes instead of scrubbing. Did it last night and the haze wiped off with almost no pressure, no scratches on the coating. Anyone got a gentler method for the inner elements, or is the soak-and-wait the move there too?
