Anyone have a person who can clean fungus from zoom lenses? I'm willing to rip apart primes, but I'm not sure if I want to 'go there' with a zoom. I found a great old lens which I'm quite interested in but it's got some fungi growing in there.

Any idea who to go to / what the cost would be (it's for a MF zoom so no electronics to worry about).

Is it really worth 230GBP? I've got some serious LBA over this and though the guy who is selling them is out of stock, he will be getting more in soon.

A normal high quality TC goes for, what, 100 quid? This would give me full autofocus on all my manual lenses, but I'm worried about having a really bad case of buyers regret.

How much would you guys think this is worth?

You know that reminds me, when I used TA Physics labs I said the same thing to try to get people to ask more questions. Obviously, some wise guy then said, "Where do babies come from?"

While not a salient question for a dynamics lab, it did loosen up the mood and people starting being more social.

Meh, if you eat what you kill I've got no problems with it. Anyone who isn't a vegetarian and has problems with it is a hypocrite.

The Meyer Optik came today as described. Was an easy fix for the aperture ring and the optics were surprisingly great. Only thing is I broke the aperture spring as I was putting her back together ... So that means I have to shoot wide open - or I have to open her up every time I want to change the F-stop.

Good parts for a potential hybrid project as well! Thanks Adam!

Wow, I've not seen one of these up for a long time. Seems like a reasonable price, but waaaay out of my league.
