Is it worth it?

Obzervr · 14th August 2003

Hi, need a bit of advice on lens cleaning. I 'inherited' a tamron 135mm 1:2.5 prime MF lens with nikon adaptall mount. However, due to years of storage, It is not infested with fungus in all its elements. I am wondering if anyone had any experience removing fungus from lenses. How much will it cost? and in this case its a third party lens, is it worth it? Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks & best regards

not sure if it is worth it...but cleaning charge should be S$70+-.

You can bring to the Camera Workshop to ask them to quote you a price.
