Snort. That's the biggest bit of bovine fertilizer I've seen in awhile. Any lens can get fungus - it's a matter of the spores getting into the lens not how well or not it was made. That ground from "one piece of glass" nonsense only goes to show that he may be a good ebayer but he doesn't know about the lenses.

Remarkable that someone could make that claim with a straight face...😀

Yeah, that's wrong. Fungus or mold or the lack of it has more to do with storage conditions than the type of glass.

I'm tempted to tell the seller that he's wrong about that, but it probably wouldn't do any good.

It probably won't even get an answer. And it is a silly remark. I can show an otherwise nice Zeiss 50/1.5 with an old dead fungus remnant on an inner element. So, yes, they do get it, if conditions are right, or wrong, depending on your point of view. A lot of the Zeiss glass is beautiful, though. I have several from the 50's that just sparkle, particularly in comparison to a lot of Leica glass I've seen. Guess I better hide in an asbestos suit, and wait for the flames...
To the uninformed, it sounds like something that might be true.

Great... apparently I can no longer trust the veracity of E*ay sellers! I don't even want to ask you guys about the Easter bunny 😛
