It s about 4 years old and i bought it new from amazon.
Lens rubber ring white.
They are in a camera bag so i was a little surpised to see this.
The rubber on focus ring is fine.
I don t use the lens that much so it stays in the bags most of the time.
The rubber on my 70 200 turn white and it looks ugly.
Noticed if i rub with my hand the white comes of but its hard get in the groves.
We are excited to introduce the delicate lens rubber cleaner essential for lens and camera rubber grip maintenance.
Simply swipe the cleaner tip on the oxidised or molded rubber the white cleansing fluid will rejuvenate the rubber in just a few seconds.
I ve noticed some of my less used lenses are have the rubber on the focus and zoom ring turn white ish.
Best was to return them to black.
My other lenses don t have the problem.
