I am more or less certain that I have fungus on the inner side of the glass at the rear of my lens, nearest the camera mount. I put indirect sunlight for days on end, I had a Lee filter holder on the front allowing me to angle the thing so it got consistent sun. The lens itself is a nikon 24-70 2.8; my instinct is to get it cleaned but as there is no official nikon repair place in Ireland Id have to send it to the UK.
There is however a local independent service which do nikon amongst other brands, including bodies, and they will charge €129 which is about $150 US to do the job. Now its not about the money Im just not sure whether I will get the thing back as good as new, snobbery I guess but id like to be somewhat reassured from other people experiences of this scenario.
I posted this link a few weeks back about this and here are the pics. It the main fungus body doesn't seem to have gotten worse but the halo around it is more distinctive now in the sun, like condensation but it hard to get a good photo of it.
