I don't think the damage looks all that bad. If it focuses well without noise and it does not rattle and the photos look fine, then I would hang on to it.. You can always send it in for repair. The cosmetic damage is not that gross. Paste a sticker that looks like a purple heart. This lens was built to a high standard. Of course, the foot on the lens suggested it was to be used with support on the lens and not hand held I imagine... I would sleep on your plans. Anal or not, it is a tool that may still work fine. You will take a big hit with the small scars because of other anal types out there....and you will lose half the price..too big a hit for what may be just fine...

Good thoughts, and I am definitely taking a less emotional approach today than yesterday.
