Re: Inner fungal bloom issue, 6 month old Canon ef 70-300 L

I've cleaned out a bunch of lenses, newly formed fungus that's right behind the front element usually isn't a difficult repair.  You might not want to do it yourself (taking apart an expensive lens isn't high in my list either), but I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a repair shop either in Thailand or back in the UK that would do it inexpensively, if the warranty isn't going to be valid anyway there's.  A lot of UV light will kill any living spores in the mean time, if you have access to a UV source.
