Yes, the shops are air-conditioned, but the homes of the previous owners
probably weren't. A lens that has been stored away in a cupboard in a
Cairns house, (or worse still, a Tully or Innisfail house), unused for a
few years before finally being traded in, has a good chance of having
fungus. I only mentioned this because I did look at a lens that caught my
eye in a Cairns shop a couple of years ago, and yes, it did have fungus.
