I've been looking at getting a lens in the 70-200 2.8 range for a while now and this time of year is always nice as work pays us bonus.
Anyway I've been trying to locate a Sony 70-200 used without luck in the price range of up to $1300 AUD.
I found an add for a Minolta 80-200 which I believe I can get for under $800.00. Only concern is the seller has confirmed there was fungus in the lens, which he paid around $350.00 to have cleaned. I am interested but cautious of it having fungus in it and if it were to grow back.
I was curious if anyone else has had experience with this and after cleaned it came back? Just don't want to spend money and then have to send it away for cleaning if it grew back.
