Good day everyone! So I bought this lens recently for a very cheap price, but I saw that it has fungus in it. Does anybody know how to properly open this so that I could clean it? Or should I just bring it to a Canon service center (which is very very far away from where I live)? Thanks guys!IMG_1246.JPG

You can purchase an excellent condition used one from Keh camera for $27.

Greetings,
I like John's suggestion.
Fungus is unforgiving. If removed quickly, there might be hope. If its been left, it can permanently damage the coatings on the lens objectives. This is not recoverable.
