I bought that. Olympus Japan can repair it (replace the front element and
CLA) but I need to send it off. Cost will be ~$400 or so... considering I
got more than just this lens when I bought it I will get it done soon. The
lens damage results in a soft fuzzy spot at one part of the image circle,
probably about 2-3mm on the film, where the resolution and contrast are
diminished. Due to the location of the damage on the element, when the lens
is shifted fully right the fuzzy spot is mostly out of the frame. But it
will be fixed, because it would be a true shame not to.
