Just my luck. It seems I have one of the two-tone mount ones with the fungus
within the inner first group.
Thanks again for all the help and suggestions. I'm going to see if I can get
it opened just to see what is inside, also just in case I have to dismantle
another lens and really to see if I can do it and put the lens back together

Thanks again,
