Hi Pentaxians,
I am currently on a lens buying binge (happens once or twice every year).
I am currently obsessed with Takumar M42's and grabbed many lenses with no plan to stop in sight. *Sigh* (i just cant stop - i need help
)
So given the countless hours pouring over for sale section on a good many forums and scouring evil bay etc, I have come to realise that no matter what fault or issue a lens has, it NEVER affects the picture ability of the lens.
So what exactly DOES affect the picture taking ability of a lens?
I'd be interested in opinions on what should really be avoided at all costs.
At the mention of haze of mold/fungus, no matter how rare the lens or how much i have been looking for that exact lens i drop it off my list.
Can haze/mold/fungus be dealt with, without a costly CLA ?
