Hi Folks,
I just bought a Mamiya 645N series 45mm lens. I'm new to medium format.
On receipt and inspection of the lens it looks like new showroom condition with no exterior wear whatsoever.
Upon examining the glass there are two things. There seems to be some dust inside the lens which appears as almost clear.
More importantly there are also two little black specs which are thin , symmetrical and rectangular (not organic...perhaps paint specs?) and are different from the other stuff that I perceive as dust.
The 2 black specs are very noticeable when looking up close onto a white surface through the glass.
My question is how much would this affect the photograph? Particularly when I photograph outdoors with lots of blue sky?
I can return this lens if needed. Advice greatly appreciated.
