I had mounted the filter on my Macro-Elmarit-R 60mm f/2.8 for three weeks long while on holiday, and today when I removed the filter, I noticed that there was something white on both the lens barrel and the back of the filter where it screws on the lens barrel. First, I was afraid that the filter had scratched the lens barrel and removed some of the black coated finish on the lens, but after inspection it appeared to be only some kind of white cream that could easily be removed with a cloth from both lens and filter. I have never seen this kind of behavior before. Anybody has any ideas? Thanks.
