Re: scratched lens

what you'll hear parroted on these forums is that small a small scratch "does not effect image quality".  maybe not most of the time but I had a small hairline on my 24-70L and occasionally when I shot into the sun i'd get a long flare in the image.

i'd offer him maybe $300 or else I would ship it back but bottom line is do what makes you happy!
