Any ideas? I noticed some smudges on either side of the lens - I used a Zeiss wet cleaning wipe, but that didn't clear it. Surprisingly, photos seem to be unaffected. I only noticed the smudges tonight. While trying to find the cause, I discovered a blob of silicon on the back of the lens cap (about where the moving parts are) and it's about right where the smudge is happening. I hope the silicon didn't scuff the lens. I don't know how long it's been there or how it got there. It either was there from I bought the lens last year, or could have come from where I set the lens cap down, although there's been no silicon around there. The only silicon I've used in the past few years has been outdoor, and it wasn't that soft, springy kind.
