Hi, I'm Godeon144. Hope you are all well.
I took my old lenses to a camera store to see if they are usable on a Nikon D750 body. They are.
I have A Nikon ED AF NIKKOR 80 - 200 mm
1.25 D lens. We attached it to the D750 body. Perfect. Putting it arway I noticed some smudges. Looking closer, we could see the they were inside the lens. Should I have the lens taken apart and cleaned? The store person suggested it looked like condensation.
Thanks again. Don't know what to do.

I would have a competent repair technician look at it.
So how do I go about locating such a person? Should I google camera stores and visit them till a competant rrpair tech shows up?.
I still have time as I will be saving for the body and haven't retired yet.
Agreed. "Store person" suggested it "looked like" doesn't have an authoritative ring.
Maybe Google Denver camera repair instead?

Google camera repair in your area,
not camera store!
Thanks. With your help there is hope. I couldn't replace this lens. We'll see what happens next week. Work full time, not much left for shopping. Sure am looking forward to taking pictures again.

Consider sending it to Royal camera for an estimate.

Condensation will eventually go away if you store the lens in a dry environment. What you really need to be concerned about is the possibility of it being a type of fungus, which will in time, damage the glass. There are several competent lens repair shops in the USA, just look on the internet. You don't necessarily have to find a local shop either; most of the shops use FedEx, UPS or USPS.
Great reply from rmorrison1116!
Was the lens in a cold environment and brought into a warm one? If not, condensation is not likely. If condensation it should be gone by the time you are reading any of this. More likely on an older lens it is fungus.

I would talk to the people at B&H and see what they recommend, and go from there.
