Thanks Ric, the Hanimar is a long forgotten residue which had been cased for 
20 years and left in my attic unlike the rest of my stuff. It acquired a 
fungus. When I realised that I still had it when we were moving, I had 
visions of the rest of my lenses being similarly affected, but luckily no!! 
All are clear, so I dumped the Hanimar in the disused fish tank.

Ireland has a mild temperate climate and I never thought I'd see fungus like 
this on a lens here.
