Hi everyone,
Looking at my Super Takummar lens I noticed a strange thing inside the lens, it actually is behind the diaphragm, it does not affect the image quality.
Is this fungus? It looks like a larva or worm.
This was my first purchase ever in the vintage lenses world.
If it turns to be fungus can I have a recommendation about a CLA service in the US to get it cleaned?
Thank you. |

Thank you guys,
The thing does not move, I guess it has been there for a long time.
I really didn't note it when I bought it...
Should it get cleaned? Or it can be leaved there to rest in peace?
Thanks again! |

It appears to me to be a former life-form, such as a bug larva.
I'd expect that it's long dead.
If it doesn't move about during lens use, I'd leave it alone. _________________ Craig

I had this fly for company for ages, it was inside a nice Cimko 135 / 2.8 and didn't seem to affect the picture at all. I did evict him eventually. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

It's a bug. If it does not affect your images don't worry about. It's not likely to move around, dead bugs usually are pretty much glued to the glass surface. |

Thank you all.
The "bug" does not affect image quality, so I will leave it there and be happy with my lens.
