A few years ago I purchased a few Canon FD lenses 2nd hand, I never inspected them closely and tbh I havent really used them, however I recently purchased a mirrorless cameras and an X to FD adapter. Having taken a few shots with a few of the lenses some of the photos seem to have a "glow" about them and on closer inspection of the lenses I can see quite an amount of dust inside, or it could be fungus I cant really tell.
So, the question is, if it's fungus on some of the lenses will it transfer across to the others via the camera if I use the clean ones and the "dirty" ones, something I dont want to do to either the lenses which appear ok or to any new lenses I buy for the mirrorless? I know there's not much point in trying to get them fixed if its fungus unless they are exotic hard to find/replace lenses and tbh if I have to dump them I wont be heart broken, but a couple are quite nice and I would like the opportunity to use them in the fuji , some appear reasonably clean but if there's any risk of fungus transfer to either lens or camera I'll get rid of them, the lenses have all been stored together in a large plastic box at the bottom of my wardrobe, a separate box to anything else.
Not sure where I should post this but as they are old Film lenses here seemed the most logical place plus I expect some mirrorless peps come in here too.
Thanks.
