Have you got a Nikon lens from from the AI or pre-AI era (must have bunny ears for pre-AI camera) that is infected with glass fungus but still usable? I'm looking for some bargains on Nikon lenses to use with my F2 and as I am not reselling, I'm fine with a little fungus around the perimeter or subpar external appearance, as long as it focuses and the aperture works. Just looking to nab something usable, not a collector.

I have two normals, a very early Nikkor-S 5cm 1:2 and a macro-nikkor 55mm 1:2.8, so I'd be most interested in wides and mild teles (e.g. 135mm)

Let me know what you have and what you want for it!
 
Are you only interested in Nikkor lenses?
I'm away from home for a few days, so I can't check right now, but I think I have a couple aftermarket lenses in that ballpark .
 
I was meaning Nikkor, yes. Sorry!
