Hi! I just shot an SMC Pentax-F Zoom 70-210 mm from ebay. I was surprised and glad that it arrived yesterday. Just in time for Whitsuntide - time to try it out. But the disappointment followed when I unwrapped it: it had fine hairs of fungus on an inner lens, wonderful enlarged by the front lens. Don't know how to open such a zoom. The lens was described on ebay as to be optically and mechanically very good. So I mailed to the seller and he will take it back. Have to wait for the next one ... (sigh)
Question: Would there have been a real chance to clean the fungus out or is it possible that he leaves traces on the lens surface? And what's about losing the adjustment in such an intervention?
