Re: the girl picture comments,
Fat people see themselves as OK. Skinny people see themselves the same way, OK. Fat people think skinny is unnatural, skinny people think fat is unnatural.

Since, in the US at least, there are many more fat people than skinny, you hear more people saying "Oh, she's anorexic, feed her," than the other way 'round.

Kenny's post is correct though, every air/glass interface is a source of degredation or introduction of distortion and Chromatic Aberrations.

Interestingly enough, I took a bunch of images with the 300mm (the lens with scratch in it), and cannot see any flaws in them YET!


your not gonna see a scratch jeff.


One would think so, but I could only find the usual dust bunnies in this image for example, f7.1, 1/500th, ISO 200, 300mm

Guess I need to shoot a white backdrop or something to really make it obvious at a variety of f stops to see where it will manifest itself :-)

Have a look at these photos taken with a smashed front element. The lack of sharpness is supposedly due to the element being out of alignment, not being cracked.
