Disassembling Leica Elmarit-M 90mm f2.8 to remove fungus

[DPE]

  I have the above lens which I bought 2nd hand a while ago and have discovered what I think is fungus inside. I didn’t pay an enormous amount of money for it so not sure whether it’s worth paying to get it serviced so wondered whether it might be worth having a go myself. Would anyone know how to disassemble this lens?

Ref 'having a go myself':  You Tube lens repair videos illustrate the methodology and tools required for typical lens fungus removal e.g.,

And a Leica Forum search can also illustrate what's involved, e.g., https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/356610-cleaning-tele-elmarit-90mm-f28/.  .

Maybe safer to find a professional / experienced lens repair technician.

That is no fungus. Rather a condensation of humidity and or grease.
