Right on both accounts re date and name. As far as I can tell the only difference between the commercial and the Eastman is the new L coating. Is it the coating that makes the lens so nice or the design?
Regarding the haze it does really seem to be on the front of the front element, can it be polished off, and if so with what. Or just leave it as suggested.
Cheers Shane
Polishing a lens it's not that simple as seems and recommended only for professionals.
Haze can be fog - humidity, and can be also traces of minimal scratches. A pic of the lens against a strong light source would be great for evaluation.
Haze can degrade the contrast of the lens, and can increase the amount of flare or shows flare where it was not previously. Long story short: send to a good technician for a complete CLA, these old Kodaks are pretty good glasses and deserves a reborn, if possible,
Cheers,

Hah, I said print, I was in the middle of a print operation thought process...
Anywho, I meant why is it so difficult to clean?
Embedded in the glass, and doesn't wipe off?
