Thanks for the advice. I just learned, tha India Ink is in fact what we call tusch (ink with shellac, water proof ink. This is what industrial desingers, engineers and architects used for drawings before we had computers and printers. Regards

I'd bet its pretty normal. Unless the front element has cleaning marks, you wouldn't see a loss of sharpness like that. A few scratches might cause some flare issues, but I wouldn't think anything more serious. I may be mistaken, but I believe India Ink applied to a scratch can eliminate any possible optical problems that it might cause. I am certain if there is a better solution, someone will tell you.
