how much fungus is too much fungus?

bought a bessa r3a, and the nokton 40mm 1.4 that came with it was described as having "slight fungus". it's just arrived and looks a bit more than "slight" to me, although it's my first experience with lens fungus

it was a relatively good deal for the body/lens, so can't decide whether or not to run a quick roll through to see if it makes a difference and hope it doesn't get worse, or just send the body/lens back?

i'd also assumed this was more of an issue with vintage lenses, so slightly concerned it was stored in a cave or something

Slight, short of the typical caveat emptor eye of the beholder subjective etc etc, is less than that.

Slight would be one or two dots toward the edge. That amount would be dealbreaker for me. Unless the deal was practically free lens, I’d return.

lens was essentially free at the price i paid, but have just spotted there's also some fungus in the viewfinder, and a fuckload of dust where he's clearly tried to get at it before. time to get my money back
