You’re a good boy.
Sounds like you are both good boys.That is exactly what my dog says to me all the time.
If I was buying, I would want to buy a minty one. But FWIW, I did have a manual focus Nikkor 105mm which got chucked across a small boat in a rough sea and ended up with similar scratches because the UV filter smashed. I never used UV filters again, but I did keep using the lens, and never noticed any degradation in performance. I know this will offend some people, but truthfully it was the only Nikkor lens I was sorry to part with.

That sounds like an incredibly unlikely event. Once in red-blue moon.
Filters have saved 99.9% more front elements than they have damaged.
At sea having to wipe sea water splash off all the time, would be enough reason in itself to use a filter.
A blow that smashes the filter into the front element, would also have damaged the naked element.
The takeaway lessen here should be: When on a boat, hold on to your lenses or have them in a bag at all times.

None of these people here saying buy it, would buy it themselves. None.
Something that ugly and uneccesary, I wouldn't be associated with.None of these people here saying buy it, would buy it themselves. None.
I’d pay $20 for it but the asking price is 10x that amount.

We still don't know a damn thing about the lens, so everything thing that has been written is meaningless.
Well, now....that changes things a bit.
I'd buy it for $200...if I didn't already have one.
Guess we’ve all seen this one before?
Front Element Scratches
We had a chance to make a pretty fun demonstration today, and here it is. As most of you know, we’re very finicky about our gear. We don’t like even tiny scratches on front elements or dust in a lens (although a bit of that is inevitable). We’re like you. We want the lens to [...]www.lensrentals.com
