I have some non-Oly lenses (C*n*n) which seem to exhibit the same malady.
They appear to have an evenly distributed mist over some of the interior
faces. Is this stuff a form of fungus? Does it form due to humidity or
temperature differential? I'd appreciate any comment and/or advice.

John.

I suggest to return it, I have seen three has this problem, one
uncleanable due to long storage in that condition, another one I clean
it and the haze came back again, the second time I even clean up the
whole tube which holding the elements but the haze also came back two
to three months later, after that I decided not to touch the Zuiko
65-200 again.
