I scraped my Canon 24-105 RF lens. It’s the two marks on the lower left. I think the other spots are flare from the lights. The image quality hasn’t been affected at all, but it’s bothering me to no end. Any idea what Canon would charge me to replace the front element & or should I just forget it?

Try to see it as no longer an art piece jewel but a well used tool that has seen combat.  It doesn't effect things.  A reliable old piece of gear that gets tons of use instead of a perfectly preserved heirloom kept in a glass display case.

People have videos online of them fixing dust in the EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS.  The front element is easily removed and seems reasonably priced.  It's my protective filter since I don't run filters.  Good filters being very pricey.

I can post pics of my perfect RF 24-105 f4 front element if it will make you feel better
