Mouldy zoom!Canon

[FRAZEL]

Can anyone advise me as to what to do with my 35-105 FD macro Canon lens which appears to have marks on one or two of the inner elements.I have changed to digital D.srl now and was getting rid of my A1 and this lens.Is it worth the cost of having this lens serviced?And would anyone know where and approx. how much this servicing would be?

If I was you I wouldn't bother unless its somehow precious to you.

I don't know how much it would cost to service your lens , but would think it would be more than it's worth. I think the marks you describe in it sound like fungus spores that are caused by keeping lenses in damp conditions, even if they are cleaned out of lenses they tend to come back, considering how much you can pick one of these up on the internet you're best bet would be to try and sell it as it is.
