Scratched lens: Usable/salvageable?

Pretty sure you wouldn't. Otherwise why not buy it, and sell your good one and pocket all that cash?

It's the OP's deal.
If he decides not to buy it, I would be interested.
But he has first right of refusal.
(and would have to let me know where to find it).
It would go nicely on my N8008s...with a serious lens hood.
