I may be NUTS, but I recently purchased just the two cells and thin spacer of a 240mm G-Claron, and I'm told the rear cell has a 1 cm scratch. I'll put these two elements in my 180mm Copal 1 shutter and make the appropriate f-stop correction during use.
Isn't there a way to kind of camouflage a scratch to limit the negative effect of the scratch on the image? What I recall is using black, liquid shoe polish. I'd appreciate any recommendations on what to use.
I'm planning on using this lens on non-flare prone closeups. So, I'm thinking that the scratch shouldn't have too negative effect on images. Is this correct?
