My experience with the 65-200/4 is similar. I've looked at four of them and
three had a haze on an internal element. I pulled one apart and the element
just seemed milky, not fungused but not quite clear either.  Perhaps the
special soft focus portrait version of this lens :-)  I've been meaning to
check if the element is available as a spare part. I've got a 35-105 being
repaired at the moment, must remember to ask when I collect it.
