I've just bought a Vivitar Series 1 70-210 zoom in pretty good condition, however there appears to be a bit of fungus on the rear of the front element. Nothing too serious, it is only visible at certain angles and doesn't seem to affect too much the pictures. I would like to clean it however... Does anyone know how easy it is to get at the rear of the front element? From looking at http://www.robertstech.com/vivitar.htm I believe it is the 2nd version (ie a Tokina made lens, w/ constant F3.5 aperture) There are 3 small screws on the barrel near the filter ring. Cheers!!   Nick Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!) Posted on Wednesday, October 13, 2004 - 09:32 am:        Oh, there's a picture of the fungus at http://grahams.net/nick/fungus.jpg
