Hello everybody!
I started this summer with digging out my fathers old photo equipment to try analogue photography. When I checked the lenses looking for fungus, I noticed that many of them are unfortunately affected. The above mentioned 180 mm-600 mm aswell. When I did a bit of research about fungus I realised that it's almost always cheaper to just buy a used lense from eBay since the old Nikor lenses became dirt-cheap over the years.
But I was wondering what's about the 180mm-600mm lense? I've read some where that there weren't that many made of the lense, so I was wondering if it would be worth it to send it to a repairman for a clean up. The lense has fungus on multiple inner elements. How much would a clean up approximately cost? Or is it aswell a case of "just buy a used one from eBay"? Is the number of produced lenses of that type really relativly small? (I think I've read something around 1000)
Tanks for any replies,
with best regards
