 Originally posted by KSSteve  I don't get what the fungus lives on in a lens. I get that moisture is part of it, but isn't some sort of nutrient required for fungus to grow? | |

| Originally posted by GUB My guess is the lens lubrication. In the old primes I have it is often worse nearer the iris. I have to say the scratch like threads in this lens don't look typical fungus to me. You must have a fancy hybrid! | |

In the dark season, in particular, we should be grateful for anything that grows. Well, almost anything.  Seriously, images of fungus-ridden lenses reliably send a shiver down my spine. But there are knowledgeable people out there who will know what can be done in such cases and whether it's worthwhile doing it. | |

Some of the leading baddies likely being El Fungus, Mr Haze, Sticky Aperture, Balsam Separation, Full Immersion, Flappy Mirror, and the only marginally less despicable brothers Clyde Clutter and Lens Creep. Not to mention a sinister indigenous character named Refuses-to-power-on. But in the end, Rocket Blower will take care of them all. Last edited by Madaboutpix; 12-04-2019 at 08:36 AM. | |
