Fungus: Yes. There is a large amount of fungus spread widely across the front element. Haze: None Scratches: None Separation: None The fungus covers a wide area and is clearly visible in the photos. It will affect image quality, especially in backlit conditions where it will reduce contrast and cause flare. We have not had the lens cleaned or serviced. This lens is sold as-is for parts, repair or as a cleaning project. Please do not bid if you are looking for a lens in usable optical condition. Returns for this reason cannot be accepted. |
| Function | Mechanically the lens works. Autofocus operates, the zoom and focus rings turn smoothly, and the lens mounts on the camera correctly. No mechanical problems were found. However, because of the fungus described above, this lens is still sold as-is without a working guarantee. |
