it honestly looks a lot like heavy smoky haze

the outer glass (first + last elements) looked clear so i didn't see it

the pentax-f that's on the left also has haze (in the form of even tiny droplets almost like water) but its a lot lighter, you can see the flashlight through the lens in comparison to the other one where its blurry/hazed like privacy glass on a shower door

more megapickels would make it worse tbqh, it would unironically be less noticable on a ist-d with 6mp
