Wilst examining my late 400mm lens's internal petri dish, and it's resident fungi and dust mites, I decided to look into my other lenses.

:eek:

My rarely used Nikkor 24mm ƒ2.8 AF has an area of little scratches on its rear element.:(

Shall Eye:
Become an Artisté, and go for the soft look?
Shoot only low contrast subjects?
Shoot high contrast subjects and make them look low contrast?
Sell the lens on eBay (I would be up-front about my rear.)?
Shoot portraits of ugly women with the roughed up wide?
Start a new line of 400mm & 24mm lens part paperweights?
Donate it to a student, only to discourage him (her) and have less competition?
Call my insurance agent?
Ignore it and try to fix the resulting images in Photoshop?
Shoot it down the core with a .45 like a certain 70-210 lens I know of.
Polish it out?
Use Nose Oil to fill in the scratches?
Scratch the entire back to a uniform smudge?
Give up and become a poet?
Think about baseball stats?

I think you missed the "Poll" option with this post, Tom.

Take some test shots and offer it up on eBay!
