Front element replacement on a Z lens?

p.1 #1 · Front element replacement on a Z lens?


My Z600mmf/4TC lens has what appear to be light scratches on the front element - kinda like a haze.
I have attempted to carefully clean but do not want to cause and more potential damage.

This is my most used lens - I usually shoot between f/4 and f/8.
When viewing images I can not detect any imperfections.

Has anyone else had a similar condition and if you sent the lens in for repair could you notice the difference?

I don't plan to sell the lens so not worried if just cosmetic - wondering if a new element will benefit my images.

Thanks in advance!

I know how we hate to see scratches and dings. But, like you wrote, you haven't noticed any change in IQ so the damage is only cosmetic.
