Schneider 150mm F5.6 Symmar-S - should I keep it?

[tudorp]

Hello,

This is my first post, good to meet you all. I'm in the process of building a 4x5 kit, have ordered a Chamonix 45n-2 and also a Schneider 150mm F5.6 Symmar-S from eBay, which arrived today.

There are two issues with the lens which weren't apparent in the online photos:

- The chip on the front... while I've read about Schneideritis, this one seems quite large. There are also smaller specs on the back, these seem more in line with photos I had seen online.



- There appears to be some form of haze(?) inside the back element.



As I don't really have anything to compare it to, I was wondering if you could tell me if these around bound to have an impact on image quality and as a results if I should keep the lens or return it.

Thanks for your help!
