Hello David,


Unfortunately the fungus will probably spread,  I had a 135 f2.8 with a
similar infection that was growing.   I have also read that the longer the
fungus is left there the more damage it will do.   I had the 135 cleaned by
a camera service shop,   looks almost like new....

I have recently bought a Zuiko 21mm/f2 from warmer climes than here in the
UK and there are a few threads of what I suppose are fungus spreading for
2/3mm from the edges of the lens behind the front element.

Will the fungus spread? I have heard that it can be "treated" with UV light
but does this remove the fungus or just prevent its spread? We don't get a
lot of fungus in the Lake District, not on lenses anyway.

Many thanks for any help!

David
