Things have been a little quiet so I've got a question for all the lens/optical/LF gurus out there. How important are coating scratches on the rear element of a large format lens? Will they affect sharpness more than on the front element? I'm not talking about deep scratches into the glass...more like coating scratches that won't clean off. I've seen many lenses for sale that have this "flaw". But is it really that serious from a practical image-quality standpoint? Thanks! -Charlie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
