Theres a little etching maybe along the perimeter, but not too bad. I still need to break it down some more, There was a retainer that gave me some trouble.. I need to remove that to get to the backside of the lens element.. but luckily that side doesn't appear to be affected. I'd say I probably have 90-95 % cleaned.
I snapped a quick pic , but its cloudy outside and the lights dropped out there. I need to take some better shots tomorrow before I can really tell much. I am hopeful though...If not it was a neat way to spend a few hours.
