Last year, when I was near bankruptcy, I sold my Olympus outfit, including
an 8mm fisheye. (I still have some stuff left, and will shortly post the
items for a third and final time before they go on e-bay.)
I got a good price for the fisheye from a guy in Brooklyn, but when it
arrived he complained about fungus on the rear element, which I'd never
heard of. He returned it to me, and sure enough, there was a gray, feathery
"something" inside the rear lens element. Fungus or not, it shouldn't have
been there, and there was no easy way to remove it.
I gave him a reduced price, and he bought most of the rest of my remaining
lenses. He said Olympus lenses were prone to fungal infection, though I
can't confirm or deny this.
