Fungus oH fungus
On Friday 3/8/12 I just gain new exprience...that is purchasing a 2nd hand nikkor 18-105mm lens.
Oh my this was like my nightmare of the week...At first during Cash on Delivery (CoD) I didn't notice any fungus, this is due to the low lighting area in the 11@century hotel.
And at that time the seller also, admited that there are no fungud in the lens that he is selling on behalf of his friend...But the after notice the fungus the next day, I quickly contact the seller back and thank god the seller agree to refund RM100 for servicing the lens....But not other problems is I'am not familiar where to service my lens and how much will it cost.....
So my advice is, take your time to inspect any 2nd hand lens that you want to purchase.
This is what fungus look like and what fungus actually do to your lens.
"Fungus (Fungi) is a member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that fall into the category of microorganisms such as yeast and fungi (Source: Wikipedia)"
This occurs as a result of the reaction conditions ... Fungs occur as a result of exposure to the glass lenses with moist air environment or water ... this moist condition will accelerate the growth of this fungus ...
Solution to this...EASY, buy a drybox which will cost around RM290~RM600 in the market.
OR if you cannot afford one and want to be creative, D.I.Y your own drybox!!
I will post on how to D.I.Y your own dry box and share what my D.I.Y box looks like :)
Stay tune...
