You said it. There's no way to know if it can be saved. many outsiders don't even realize that Olympus doesn't even service OM anymore.

There are very big unanswered questions about how much fungus there is
and whether the coatings will be found to be damaged once it's clean. If
it's cleaned and found to be seriously damages how much is it worth
then?  :-)

ps:  In these days of good high ISO performance I can't see having a
250mm f/2 lens.  I'm sure some can but not me.

Special reduced price: $2640
this is how problem is listed:
Front Element
        Internal elements have fungus.
I wonder what it would cost to have it stripped and cleaned ?

I would guess these were manufactured in limited quantities,so John
may not ever have done a CLA or defungus!
You might imagine it would increase the price enough if it were
cleaned to justify repair?
