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?

uhhh, if it's inside the lens it will eventually cause image quality issues because it's going to get on the glass. Not sure how they know there is fungus inside the lens and it's not already on the glass
