View Full Version : Haze on lens

I notice my relatively new Schneider lens is forming a whitish haze on one of the internal elements. Currently, it is only on the outer one-third of the lens, but it seems to be slowly encroaching on the center. What it it? Do I need to send it to Schneider to be cleaned?

Hi John,

I was wondering: which lens is it?

The lens is the SSXL80.
The affected element seems to be the second from the front, so it is not accessible to me.

I got the same problem. The seller helped me to deal with Schneider. They actually were very helpful and effective.
We expect a very good customer service for one of their best lens series, don't we?
If you need more detail you could contact me by email directly.
Bye

This is not isolated case if you search this forum. Two brand new SS80XLs at my local dealer also had the same problem, and the third one was good and I bought it. Not sure what caused the problem though.

Mine had the same problem, and I returned it to Badger Graphic. Thanks for their excellent service, they replaced it with a new one. You may check another thread here: http://largeformatphotography.info/lfforum/topic/498280.html#513446
