Would you all be able to tell me if this is mold on the rear element. It looks like a bunch of little bubbles on the rear element only on the very edge of the element. Or is this imperfections on the rear element. The front element does have some dust.

Could be separation, or some sort of fungus. Either way it’s not good. Can you see any degradation of your images?

Could it be condensation or other fluid residue? In any event, I don't think it is a good pactice to buy used lenses in questionable condition.
