Funny you should mention the 35-105/3.5. I've got one with a
small ding in the front element, which replaced one with a
scratch in the front element (the one stolen when my house was
burgled a year ago). In both cases, the marks were filled in
with black ink (to prevent flare from the edges of the damage)
when I got them. No problem using either lens, despite how
conspicuous the marks are when looking at them from the front.
