I got a large lot of gear recently, and while it started bad it ended up working out really well, anyway one of the lenses I got is this Nikkor-W 135mm F5.6. It had an extensive amount of fungus but the glass was otherwise in good shape, and the shutter worked fine, so I opened it and cleaned it as best I could. It looks like even after the fungus is gone there's still some etching on the coating, quite a bit it looks like. At least I think that's what it is, I was unable to remove it at least. Will this have any effect on photos? Looking through it it looks clear, it's only when I angle it that I can see the crud. I'll probably shoot a couple pictures anyway and see unless it's for sure a lost cause. Most of the crud seems to be on the backside of the front element.
