(2) Does the fungus actually eat into the glass or is there a
smooth surface after you clean it?
(3) is there any actual shop out there that does a good job
with fungus treatment?
******************************************************************

The acids excreted by the fungus can start to etch the glass overe time.
Haze, however, is not necessarily fungus. For professional cleaning in the
US, I would send it to John Van Stelton at Focal Point. He specializes in
lens cleaning and repairs.
