Fungus on Hollywood

No, it's not mine (yet). Can anyone see the fungus from the pics? I can't...

If you are serious about this model I have one for sale.
The one here is an AE version. Zeiss will only service the later MM copies. I would be very nervous to trust anyone but Zeiss to open this lens for cleaning.
Others may disagree.

The fungus may not grow or it may just as it may or may not effect performance.
With a cheap lens, a normal or tele in particular. Cleaning fungus from a lens or letting it slide can be a successful enterprise.
I personally would not mess around with a wide angle like the Hollywood.

Hi Andy,

Hehe, I am half serious about this lens, though I am seriously considering 28/2.8

I am sure the Hollywood will be bid out of my price range at the end, just thought some fellow MFers and brave souls might be interested.
