The importance of such marks can be over-estimated, as far as I know. I
believe the seller's notes on this were probably fair comment.
How many of you remember the 24mm Zuiko shift lens grafted onto a 6x6
camera body, that hit eVilBay? That lens had a large chip on one one side,
fixed with a dab of silicone sealant as far I could tell. Made NO apparent
difference, to judge by the large test image posted..
I have read other reports that chips etc especially on the front element make
little or no difference (unless hit by direct sunlight ! )
