I wouldn't bother with the MV Lenses, while they are really nice, I have a lot of them and they aren't usable any more.
They have all yellowed.
Anyone have any idea how to turn them back clear?
Regards.

You can try the old trick for restoring yellowed decals:

Expose them to sunlight (UV light) for a couple of days and see what happens...
works great on yellowed decals...bleaches the yellow right out.

SKP ain't that great either; all of mine have yellowed, this is just a small sample (mediocre mobile phone photo but it should show the clear lenses have yellowed). Hoping the sunlight trick works on these too...once we get some sunlight!
