QUOTE(shootkk @ Jun 4 2010, 02:09 PM) Polish!!?? No, no, no. You can't do that. The lens is covered with a layer of coating. If you polish the lens, it means you're damaging the coating to the lens. This can lead to problems like flaring. thank you for your fast reply. just got a badly scratched lens and snapped a few shots. could you help me to take a look at the pic below to see any obvious flaws. just a random shot though.If the scratch is tiny, then most of the time you can just leave it alone. IQ may not even be affected. If you start to polish, it may just render the lens beyond repair. thanks! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

lencent : I cannot see any obvious flaws in the pic. Perhaps you should try to take a pic out in the bright sun and see.
If you're not too picky, the lens could probably still be used as is. Just how badly scratched is it? |

if you want to find for its effects on an image, shoot a white surface with a low f-number (f/18) and see if there's anything.
shooting normal stuffs like these, u wont be able to see anything. |

Use flash as well and a smaller aperture at f16 to get a wider dof. I think.
