Fungus Removal who does it?

Kombivan · 11-11-2017, 10:26 AM

I have a 120-600 lens that I have been ignoring for a while and when I last put it away I forgot the silican Jell. The result is all the lens are covered with fungus years ago I used to send my lens es to Tasmania to get cleaned but I have lost my contact details thats if the guy is still in buisness so who repairs lenses with fungus does anyone know someone that is honest at this type of work I say honest as I can't afford getting over charged and I would like some one good.so who do you know could you please list the choices in Australia I'm in NSW on the mid north coast but I can post my lens anywhere, Thank you.

Its a Koboron lens k mount no electrics its old school 35mm. Looking at it again should be an easy fix as its only one or two of the lens coveredon the back side of the zoom section.

I had a lens cleaned and fungus removed by Yoshi Nagami of Nagame Camera Service. The cost was $50.(excluding any postal and handling charges) He is based in Melbourne and his telephone no is (03) 9727 3388 and his website is Nagami Camera Service. Yoshi is highly respected and does an excellent job in repairing and servicing old film cameras and lens.

I've had my Koboron len staring at a light bulb for 2-3 days now looks like the fungus on the first lens is almost gone has anyone done this before and know if I will get rid of all the fungus leaving the lens staring down the light globe?

Light doesn't remove fungus Myth busted.

As I couldn't get a price for cleaning the fungus from the Koboron lens which I would love to do as its been with me for 20 years I have decided to purchase a replacement lens its a sigma 150-500mm lens hope its in good nick and comfortable as the Koboron the money spent restoring the Koboron simply deducts from the cost of the new s/h lens.
