Just spent $275 on this "good user" Hasselblad 50mm Distagon from ebay. Hoping the seller will be honest and refund my money.
It goes all around the front inner element. Looks like the lens was at least once open crudely. |

It does not have to be fungus. At least it does not look like it. Actually it reminds me of the 50mm P6 Flektogon which I once had and the front element had been removed. That left some marks around the front element(s) but actually not on the elements but on the outer rims (outside of the optical path). Maybe this is the case here also.
But... I don't like lenses which seem be have been opened by f***ing amateurs

Clearly not true. |

Then send it back. You expected to receive a good user lens, not a junker...

I think this is not haze ,not fungus and not marks, rather dusts around edges based on pictures , this is quiet common on older Pentacon lenses. ~250 USD for a an 50mm Hasselblad lens not bad even with this problem. In this case of you rather test it first (I am pretty sure it is fine) and enjoy this great lens than send it to back.
Can you link auction to here ?

7 lens elements
7 components = groups
Therefore - good news - it can not a separation between elements
It's not a fungi in my view - hard to say from that picture

Looks to me like "Schneideritis"
It is only on the black painted lens edges?
Have someting like that on some Schneider Kreuznach lenses, and on a Vivitar VHE enlaging lens "Made in Germany", seller told me it is made by Schneider - now the Schnederitis proofs that
I think my Porst 135/1.8 has the same
