Re: Film Development Testing Question
Yeah, I tried to clean it off. Unfortunately, it's internal. You really have to hold the lens at the right angle to see it, and even then it's not very apparent. It's a 135mm Fujinon W that I got very cheaply, specifically because of this minor haze.
And, yes again on the fungus. It's some fine threads on both lens cells, but looks completely covered by f/11, so should not be a problem. But I may not be looking through it the way I ought to, so would like to see empirical evidence.
Re: Film Development Testing Question
As long as you have a good lens, you are all set. Pick a film and determine your exposure and development as you like. The expose the lenses under study exactly the same, but using a selection of f-stops. You should be able to determine problems in the exposure or the resolution without even making prints -- just use a loupe or a reversed enlarging lens.

My holes are round. I made the with one of those "door knob" drill set from the hardware store. I've filed them down to be smooth, but the felt in the holder points downward and catches. No big deal -- it's a scrap film holder.
