Interesting. Thanks. I always thought it was a little soft, but took that as par for the course for a 40(?) year old lens that’s been around the block a hit. Looks like there’s three set screws around the edge of the first barrel where the lens cap fits. If it’s toast regardless seems like a no regret option to see if it’ll come apart and be cleaned up at all.

I've been warned not to keep a lens with fungus with other lenses. I have one that was cleaned. It does harm the value of an expensive lens but it still takes great pictures. I've not seen one with such diffused fungus covering the whole lens though.

YwH as soon as I saw it I separated it from any others. Thankfully it was all in its own bag in the first place, it’s rarely used which probably contributed to it getting a bit mouldy.
