A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

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?

It’s not something that will spread, but it’s an indicator that that lens has been in a very humid environment for extended periods. You could use it, but it will deminish resale value
