Could be this, but you’d have to take your camera apart to find out. If you do, let me know. The fact that your haze developed over time is interesting, and gives weight to my theory that it relates to the oil they seem to be using on the lens threads. (This whole thread may be interesting to you. )

I haven’t taken apart a Cam Pan, so I don’t know for sure what the lens/sensor would look like inside. But if it’s a simlar setup, it makes sense that you might be seeing something similar.

I took one apart to get to the bottom of this and to my surprise, I found a very scuzzy little piece of glass under the lens of the camera but over the sensor. I cleaned it off and the difference has been pretty drastic. I’ll try to fix another camera and get some before and after photos. Can anyone explain the purpose of this little piece of glass? UV filter? And do you mess anything up by cleaning it…
