Fungus can be very erratic in how it appeares. It may look like a spider
web or have a hairy appearance. If caught early it can be cleaned off,
otherwise it will eat into the lens coating.

Subject: [OM] Lens Fungus
> I have just sent two lenses to KEH for sale and was surprised to learn
> that one of them had fungus in the lens. My questions are as follows.

> 1. Does fungus coat the lens elements uniformly because I didn't notice
> any "specks" of fungus?
>
> 2. Anybody have any recent purchases of new lenses come down with
> fungus because now I'm afraid my new lenses are at risk?
>
> 3. What measures can I take to prevent fungus from attacking my lenses?

> Thanks.
