Hello,
Not to be :OT:I have a 24-85N that Bo Ming Tong reworked several years ago, and I just received it back after a recent, second upgrade of the AF as well. I've asked him the same question as below, but never received an answer.
My question, when looking through the front elements, I see many, many small "bubbles" in the glass of one of the lens elements, everything else is perfectly normal and "factory clean" so I wonder what is going on?
I'd appreciate hearing from other 24-85 N users, it is the sharpest zoom lens in the Canon kit I've used in the past, and makes an excellent one lens landscape/hiking lens.
I've gone over to the Dark Side with Sony, currently have Minolta AF 20, a 28 Distagon Leitax-converted, the Minolta 35 f2.0, and then jump to a Leica 100 apo Leitax converted. Boy, it would be great to have the 24-85N with A mount to fit in the middle!
Appreciate any discussion, I wouldn't believe that Zeiss would let out a lens with "bubbles" if that is what they are.
Thanks,
RDG
