Hey,
I just bought a used, but unused, 135mm f5.6 Rodagon Rodenstock enlarging lens on eBay for a good price. The only problem is there are two very small scratches, one each on the front and rear elements.
I am wondering (without being able to readily test it at this moment) just how much image quality can be affected by the aproximately 1mm light scratch in the coating on the rear, and the .5mm scratch on the front which is deeper - at least through the coating, maybe even into the glass. Will I notice it in enlargements?
I got a lens board and this lens (that I would say both were never used) for $100. The exact same items sell at B&H for about $540 dollars.
Am I being picky, or should I send it back? Thanks!
