RE: Advice needed on SMC 120mm/F2.8 lens

[J. C. O'Connell]

I would never buy nor pay for a repair of any SLR
lens with MAJOR fungus problems. Who's to say the technician
will get the lens properly precision re-assembled to factory specs?
I wouldnt trust it at all...No frickin' way....The last thing
I would ever want to shoot with is a "re-assembled" lens
unless MAYBE, just MAYBE, if it was a current model and was
repaired at the same factory where they were currently being built and
tested.
