Any way to get fungus cleand out of lens?

PopeBuckfastXVI · 2011-03-30 16:47:57

Have an old pentax k1000 at home I'd like to bring back into play, have a 50mm f/2 on it, but it's got a large patch of fungus. Is this hard to clean, or get cleaned? Or would I be better off chucking it and getting another on ebay? Thanks!

Send Zerohamster (a regular round these parts) a private message. He recently sorted out a similar problem for me. If it's bad it may have already etched into the glass and the elements may need replacing but he'll be able to offer much better advice than myself.
