I've seen two types of haze on interior elements, water (temporary) and plasticizer out gasing redeposition. I'm sure there are other causes, but fungus looks like fungus, not haze.

Maybe it's fungus?

Was'nt sure what it was, someone mentioned mold & I just got rid of it. Ok so now I have one more REGRET in life.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum! I had this problem back in 2008 with an old 80-200mm ED D pushpull lens. I took it into my local Nikon after service center and it ran me 50 bucks to fix. The price should be similar for you, but you may have to factor in shipping if you do not have any AS centers near where you live. Actual damage like scratches to the element obviously raise the price, but I was told that moisture simply got onto the element and nothing more. Also I use silica in plastic containers to help combat condensation problems in my bags as well. I'm sure you know about this after all 27 years shooting is a lot longer than me! :)

Matt

HI, I'm new here! been shooting for 27 yrs-always with NIKON. I did'nt see this posted anywhere so here it goes. My 35-7 f2.8 nikkor had some fog (internally) on an element. I traded that lens in with a bunch of other items. Could this have been cleaned? It was a great lens originally.but I figured it was a goner! If it was repairable,would it have been cost worthy? THANKS
