Loose chips are more then likely a culprit of the lens cell being threaded on then working their way into view after some time.

Unfortunately for that theory, the lens cell is not threaded unto the tube, the locking screws hold those parts together. The source of the chip(s) is a mystery.

IMO, this should never have passed QC.
