Hi, CS members.
Need clarification, just took over a lens.
Spotted few fungus spot while cleaning front elements.
Had a bad experience, years back spotted fungus send to agent for cleaning job. But few weeks after collection, the fungus came back and worst it spread. In the end lost a good lens.
So this time round, what are the chances of it to repeat history all over again?
Base on 1 senior photographer that I knew of, commented that local lens sale in sg from factory has anti-fungus coating on. And once fungus spotted, user send to local agent to get it clean. Chances that fungus will reappear after time. He advise paying slightly more get it return to factory to do the job or sell it off/return back to seller.
What your take on this?
Any recommendations?
Ian
