Lens smudge, is it possible to clean them ?

Hi.
Well my 60mm 2.8d arrived and it is used one, quite old. And it has I think fungus or dust in it. It does make the picture look hazy.

Is there anyway to remove them ?

Birna Rørslett:
This looks definitively as fungus. If it's on the inside elements, the lens needs to be disassembled and cleaned as soon as possible. If it's on the front element, use windows cleaning spray intended for cleaning mirrors etc.

vashok1:
Thank you Birna. I will take it to a Nikon service center.

Chulster:
Would it not be better to return it and buy another? If you bought on ebay, fungus is always a sufficient reason for return.

Birna Rørslett:
Getting a lens professionally cleaned can be quite expensive as well. The Micro 60mm f/2.8 is a common enough lens to make it easy to get a better sample.
