Is that the outside coat or inside?

Sometimes it is oil contamination that refracts to look like coating loss.

Looks a lot like the elements are separating. Not a whole lot that can be done about this except for re-gluing them, which is not an easy process. What lens is it?

Thanks for your responses. The marks are on the outside (it's an old tak), I think. Does that make a difference re whether or not it's a coating loss or rear lens separation?

Btw, how can one tell the rear elements are separating? Thanks.

Are you sure it is on the outside? Can you feel the gaps in the coatings? Lenses create optical illusions, separation can look like a surface defect, but really isn't.

Exactly which Takumar is it?
