What looks like moisture drops on glass

[WN2010]

Hey folks,

Bit of a problem here. I was using my Canon 300mm lens on Saturday and I opened the box it is kept in to clean it on Monday, but I noticed small marks on the glass, however they seem to be on the inside of the front glass.

It looks like dried moisture droplets (very small) and oddly all in a straight(ish) line. It wasn't raining on Saturday, but that is what it looks like.

Anyone have any tips on what the best action is or have they had this problem before?

I know the glass, at a cost of course, can be replaced, but just wondering if it can be easily taken care of.

Thanks as always.

Sounds like it's sucked in a bead of water which gave it the line appearance. You have two options, look online for a repair guide and do it yourself or contact a company like Fixation etc Front elements are usually very easy to remove, just be very careful and have some decent lens cleaner to hand

Does it show up on your pictures?

If not, I would leave well alone.
