Would you guys recommend it?
Would it work?
One of my 1.8 lenses (bought new) started to have fungus. I opened and cleaned it. But now again there is a little starting to grow.
Would shoving this thing over the lenses help to kill all this shit?
i though about this
it should, in theory, kill the fungus in the glass, but not anything that's not on the glass unless you shove the lens with a shit ton of light that gets everywhere inside.
personally i just keep lenses near a bunch of silica bags I've collected over the years and only have fungus on one which came from ebay with the fungus so yeah
as I said fungus is usually not only on the glass so if you open it up again to clean it get some good ol' IPA and wash everything properly, afterwards, silica bags do wonders.

>(bought new) started to have fungus
Do you live in a ditch?
The glass will block a lot of UV, but leaving the glasses out in the sun would do the same thing. You don't have to buy a UV light source. If fungus is a problem, store gear inside waterproof/ziploc bags with desiccants.
