I think you're probably right. It's sitting on the M3 right here beside 
me. It's not "hazy" or anything, but it doesn't have that crystal clear 
Leica glass either. It probably needs a cleaning.

Are there people you can trust with cleaning lenses? Taking apart 
something mechanical is one thing, put optical components? Can the 
usual, DAG, Sherry, do this?
