Hi Rolfe,

When I shine the light through the lens, I see no fungus or anything untoward,
and there are no cleaning marks on the front. I bought it from a reputable LHSA
member, from whom I also bought my M3 a few years ago, and he told me that the
lens had recently been professionally cleaned. Mind you, in my testing I
purposely subjected the lens to difficult conditions that would challenge even
a newer lens.
