Hi all, does any body have experience on opening the XF18-55 from the front element?
My 18-55 have some fungus on the inner side of the front element, is it possible to disasambly the lens from the front element but not the rear?

Many thanks!

I'm sure it's possible.  The real question is how adept you are at working with lenses and other optics with fairly fine tolerances.  I would suggest that this may be something best left to the professionals, particularly considering the cost if something goes wrong in the process.  JMHO.
