if the listing advertised it as being fungus free I'd return it. If the listing said free fungus on the other hand....

its very blue, but maybe the fungus lends some personality to the shot

The fungus won't physically show up in pictures, unless invited specifically. It will decrease contrast and may also soften the image though.
Can't beat fungus tbh.

thanks, also pics supposed to be blue, i guess il go take some photos with the new lense first.
Is there a generic time span/end date for returns? a month?

That's a lotta fungus...

Personally, I'd send it back, if it said fungus free!

Fajitas! · 24-09-2006 12:19pm

Was it 90 quid all together?

yeah, he didnt respond so i tooki to paypal, i got first set developed, they do seem a little bland and far off sharp but could be more due to the film i was using [kodak HD 200 asa] dodge]
