What could this be on the inner side of the front most element on my telephoto lens?

[Digger...]

I dont know what this is or if its affecting my shots, any ideas? Could it be some dislodged seal or something? Is it fungus?

Would it be a good call to get this serviced, what would you do?

This would just be a basic service clean job? Pretty sure its just on the front most element. Any advice would be appreciated??

Is to far away from the sensor to have any affect?

Gonna take the train to the city in the morning and get it serviced, had a look on google and it's definitely the start of some fungus growing.

$150 to $200 bugger!

Ps. Edit, 19 views and no input. Hmm.

Feel let down here that no one tried to help with my lens issue, thx all.

I could be wrong but it looks like fungus to me.

Edit: oops, never mind, just read the rest of the thread.....

Just noticed this thread now. If it's fungus, then it got wet and/or you have high humidity where your gear is stored. Better deal with that issue because all your gear could get fungus, including the newly-cleaned lens.
