I was hoping to be able to get a shot of a snowy waterfall that I left running in my pond, but all we got (in S. NH) today were a few flakes. There is still hope; we have the earliest primary election so I expect to see a lot more.

So the local camera repair shop cannot de-haze my lens due to the haze being in the rear element that is cemented together. The lens is a Mamiya K/L 127mm 3.5.

Short of buying a haze-free lens (which I may do, but a lot of them seem to have haze), does anybody have any leads on lens repair places (in North America, Canada even better) that could tackle this problem? Maybe somebody has a spare rear element kicking around? Maybe pigs fly?

Thanks for any and all help.

Keh works on lenses, and does a great job, but minimum charge is $250, and I see this lens listed on eBay for prices around $150 and up. Therefore, I suspect that the most economical approach will be replacement.

Recently had a trip to San Francisco, during which I met up again with my friend, the wonderful Mike Oria. My thanks to him, as ever, for his company and his generous advice about the area/locations.

Time has been short for editing/processing, so I'll share pictures as the opportunity arises. To start off, though, here are a couple...

Yeah, it's looking to be that way, though I'll keep feelers out anyways, even for parts lenses with a clear rear element.

I can work with the haze until then, it works for certain things.

Terrific shots, especially #2 (for me).

A rather special morning in San Francisco Bay - looking from Marin Headlands over the Golden Gate Bridge towards the city and the Bay Bridge.
