Assuming there was a rare lens which you had the opportunity to buy - hypothetically - would it be worth buying relatively cheaply and hoping it will be able to be cleaned for a reasonable sum, or is it best avoided until a perfect lens comes along, however long you may have to wait?
For me, there would be a number of factors: 1. How rare is it? 2. How bad is the fungus? 3. How much does it cost? 4. How much will the repair cost? 5. Will the repair be successful? 6. How badly do I want it?
With fungus, given its penchant for cross fertilisation, so to speak, the lens would have to be exceptionally cheap. You would, with very few exceptions, have to virtually give it to me.
