Clearly this response was meant for me.

You tell us this is a different lens. Well, let's examine what you have said.

On June 20, 2022 you began a post asking for assistance with a Tamron SP 200-500. "It has a it has haze on the first element beneath the front element. The other elements are all fine. What would be the repair cost for this lens?"

In response to your inquiry you received several reasonable replies from earnest readers offering their opinions.

Then, on June 30, 2022 you reopen this long dead thread, which you began in 2014, which dealt with a different lens repair issue.

However your inquiry on the 30th is: "Tamron SP 200-500mm F/5.6 Model 31A Telephoto Zoom Lens with Nikon AIS Mount

It has a it has haze on the first element beneath the front element. The other elements are all fine.
What would be the repair cost for this lens?"

My point is that you solicited advice from the community, which is fine, that is whole idea. But then you turned around and asked the identical question in a zombie thread 10 days later. Will you be continuing to ask this question until you get an answer more to your liking?

Then, when called on your action, you try to defend saying it is a different lens. Hogwash!

Enough with the righteous indignation. When you ask for advice and get plenty the forum has served its purpose.

Again what is not cool read the post it is for a different problem and a different lens

NOT THIS Reply in: Nikon 18-200 VR Problem from a long time ago

BUT THIS Tamron 200 to 500 mm with a haze on the in side front element this is the current lens and problem

now what is not cool at all is your smart ass answer
