is this salvageable? how bad do fungus has to be in order to leave permanent etched marks on glass?
I'm getting this minolta MD 50mm f1.4 lens with fungus for around $13. front element has some light fungus but the rear one has it the worst.
thinking of giving it a shot at trying to clean it. lens diagram says that particular model (late MD-II, 49mm filter thread) has a single glued duplet deep inside, rest are single elements so I can clean them on both sides individually. never done it before though.
