Fungus in my A35-70 f:3.5-4.5
Turns out it was just a case of unscrewing the rear element. A doddle
Many thanks.

With a resurgence of interest in film photography along with the ease which vintage K Mount lenses can be used natively or adapted to Mirrorless, John Riley takes a look at the history and models of the compact SLR Pentax-M series of camera and lenses.

I've noticed some fungus inside the rear element of my A35-70 f:3.5-4.5, and I'm wondering if it's feasible to pull it apart to fix it ?
It's my favourite walkabout "one lens, chuck it anywhere, don't mind if it gets banged up" on my old K-x. IQ isn't the best but it's OK, I love the colours, and the "macro" I find really useful. And it's tiny.
It's obviously not worth paying for a pro job, but if the alternative is that it becomes a paperweight then I figure I may as well have a go myself.
Any pointers ?
Cheers...Ian.
