On a taking lens I know this would never show up in an image. Is the same going to be true in this case? I am in a climate controlled environment so I also have to ask will the problem get worse?
I still have a chance to return it, but I don't believe I paid top dollar and also am thinking that a bird in the hand...
Anyway I'd love to know what the brain trust thinks about imperfect enlarging lenses.
