This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How big a deal is fungus in lens (alien.top)

Considering buying a used Fujifilm 16mm F1. 4 but the listing says 'fungus growth inside lens, does not affect image quality. Priced accordingly.' How worried should I be?

First of all, if it's cheap enough (like 1/5th the normal used price) then sure, take it and do some tinkering with it. Second of all, how the hell did one of these modern lenses even get such a thing, i have only ever seen fungus/mold in vintage and relatively old glass like the first EF's.
