I noticed my latest build all at once developed a heavy glare/fog around the beam.
All my cylindrical optics have a little but this just went bad all of a sudden.
I tore it down to find my cylindrical pair are ok, I knew about a couple tiny glitches on the large convex but I had focused in a clean area, then I noticed my G2 has a burn mark in its center.
I will post more pics and see if it cleans, but the way it happened suddenly was strange. Just all at once while running.
Someone else asked me if I had noticed anything different about the G2's and I have not.
This is probably something I did, maybe my UV glue outgassing deposited and later caused a burn on the G2, I will pull it and see, what was strange was the sudden fog around the beam.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this?
Is the G2 AR coated?
My other prior builds are fine, this one just went bad suddenly.
Again it's probably some contaminant I introduced somehow, but has anyone else noticed anything like this lately, I ask because someone has asked me before.
