Re: Camera and Photography Thread -III

My dad has an old Asahi Pentax SLR, with a great collection of lenses, fisheye,superzoom,the works. Some of them have fungus in them. How feasible is it to get them cleaned up? I'd like to pick up a new K20D and pair these up with them. Will save a LOT of money.
