Dust/slight fungus between lens elements

Gunjack · 19th December 2003

Hi,

I have a minolta 35-70mm F3.5-4.5 AF lens. I like it because it is a nice, compact and reasonably sharp and contrasty lens, but it has some dust and slight fungus between the elements. It still takes good pics. Just wondering is it worth sending it for a cleaning(dunno whether this is a cheap or expensive lens)? Where and how much will it cost?

Hi, it usually cost you $50-$80 to clean.

This should be a rather cheap lens. You might be able to buy it 2nd hand at a lower price than cleaning it.
