I ignored AF film SLRs for a pretty long time. I was shooting with Pentax MX's and a Super Program since the early 1980s. I wasn't interested in the SF or PZ line at all. Then, in 1995, I looked at a ZX-5 (MZ-5) and loved the look...we didn't call it retro then. It had dials.

Dec 11, 2024 · At f5.6 things improve with pretty good sharpness all over and with a particularly good centre to periphery sharpness at middle-distance. It's good but not very good.

An optical surface has to maintain its figure to a remarkable degree of accuracy to do its job and short of refiguring (fine grinding), re-polishing, and re-coating said lens, it's pretty much impossible to remove surface defects. That said, if the scratches are minor, they probably won't affect the imaging that much and can be ignored.
