I posted this question on a wrong thread.... so here I go one more time...
I looking at a Germany made 35/1.4, but it has a lot of thin scratches on the front element, which do not seem to effect the image quality.
The rear element is spotless....
Is it worth $850 ... ?
If I negotiate a little, he may be able to go down to $800 ....
Decision, decision....
Don`t worry - front element doesn`t have significant impact on the quality of pictures as rear
My rear is scratched on center but the lens is still very sharp, contrasty and exc against light from wide open
Mine is scratched on rear element and is perfectly fine - sharp, contrasty and very good against light;
front element don`t have so influence on quality
