I recently inherited a bunch of Nikon Ais primes from my fater in law. unfortunetly, they all have a touch of fungus in them, and some have stiff focusing rings....
these include the 85mm 1.4, 24mm 2.8, 35mm f2, 50mm f1.4 and the 180mm ED f2.8.
can anyone recommend a place to get these fixed in australia that isnt ridiculously overpriced? obviously this cost varies on the lens, and amount of work needed etc.. can anyone recommend a place to get this done in australia?
are there service manual available to try and attempt this myself with the cheaper short primes?
kind regards.

I use Ben at http://www.cameracheckpoint.com.au/index.html I would say his costs are reasonable,since I can't do the job. I am more than happy with his costs and service.You can always email him and he will give you a quote. There are probably a few more out there, you may want to use Google or try the Australian photography forum for more choices.
A few more knowledgable members may be able to help if you want to try it yourself.
