I\'ve seen lenses with fungus and I agree that it is a serious problem, it costs a lot to have it cleaned from internal elements by a technician and there can be permanent coating damage. If it\'s not treated, fungus can continue to grow until the lens is unusable.
I have bought a lens with fungus. The seller wasn\'t knowledegable enough to recognise it. I returned it for a refund.
If your 24-70 has fungus, I agree you have a serious issue and have every right to be upset. From what I can see though, it doesn\'t look like fungus
