anthonymarsh Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 My lens has tiny opaque pinpoint dots throughout apparently between elements. They are not spider web like so it appears it may not be fungus. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 There are different kinds of fungus. It can appear as spider web type strands, or as small fuzzy dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dick_chandler2 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Search for "Schneideritis." It seems to be a fairly common problem involving the flaking of the paint used around the circumference of lens elements to reduce flare. https://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?152105-What-is-quot-Schneideritis-quot-or-What-are-those-white-specks-in-my-lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
