    I treated myself to a Canon EOS EF 85mm f1.8 lens of E Bay UK at a very good price -- no wonder as when I looked the Front Element was COVERED in Minute Black Dots - NO FUNGUS or HAZE but something else -- so I got busy with Lens Fluid and Tissues and wiped and it came off luckily -- rear element and mount in MINT Condition and lens came with Box and original Instructions and Warranty Card.
    It looks sharp enough on first tests - I tried some at f2, f2.8, f4, f5.6 etc
