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?

At Leica they have a whole separate place to store kit that has come in for service with fungus because of the danger of it spreading. Best case scenario the kit has zero value moving forward. Worts case it gets into other kit. Absolute no-no, even if it's free.
