- Support The lens bodies themselves are a little dusty and worn - but that's kind of a given for seeing the phenomenon. Informative and clear. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 20:07, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

- In most dictionaries "experience" can mean "encounter or undergo" applying to non-sentient entities. Also the lens on the far right (according to the file description) shows no signs of yellowing for comparison. Maybe the caption could be improved to indicate this? - Wolftick ( talk) 22:41, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

OED has [with object] and "the company is experiencing difficulties" [1] but I'd agree undergo is better. - Wolftick ( talk) 01:47, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
