Since I have a spare one of these, I thought that I would attempt repair of the worse of the two of them. This one has some fungus on the inside of the front element, oil on the aperture blades, and a stiff focusing ring that has a "bump" in it. I know that professional repair would probably far exceed the value of the lens, and that a replacement in better condition would probably cost me less than $30 US.

Can anyone provide any specific suggestions for fixing these three problems?

Thanks,
Ben
