Would a Cokin P system work also ? Or does the front of the lens rotate ?

With fungus, given its penchant for cross fertilisation,
I purchased a Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 macro lens three or four years ago. It had
visible fungus on the outer circumference of an interior element, but I paid very
little for the lens and the optical 1:1 adapter that goes with it. I had it
disassembled and cleaned at Oakland Photographic Repair
The Super Program gives you aperture readout in the digital indicator
of the viewfinder,
but only with the lens set to the A setting. And it's only accurate on
a constant-aperture
lens. But it is there.

Hi,
For me, there would be a number of factors:
1. How rare is it?
2. How bad is the fungus?
3. How much does it cost?
4. How much will the repair cost?
5. Will the repair be successful?
6. How badly do I want it?
With fungus, given its penchant for cross fertilisation, so
to speak,
Unfortunately its locked to the EV setting at the time you pressed the
button. I don't know why they didn't go one step further and allowed a
more versatile Av mode while they were mucking with the firmware. I am
sorely tempted to see if I might be able to do it myself. Someone
