The images you posted sure look like very bad fungus attack.

I bow to your knowledge in this. I have never had a lens with fungus infestation! Given that is the case, I guess a replacement lens is the best way to go. Pity, but as has been mentioned before, once the stuff is in there it's going to be extremely hard and fairly expensive to attempt to clean out.

"... it's going to be extremely hard and fairly expensive to attempt to clean out."
I have never heard of anybody removing it. Perhaps someone has been successful I just haven't seen it. Plus if left long enough it will damage the lens coatings and they are not repairable.
A lot of shops won't even touch it.

Definitely agree. Hence the word attempt. I honestly think this unit is a write-off - sad to say, but it happens. Maybe a candidate for an insurance claim, depending upon the policy conditions?
