I have the last version = non-asph 35mm Summicron which unfortunately received a nasty scratch on = the rear element. (no, I wasn't cleaning it at the time!). I replaced it = with the 35mm F2.0 aspherical, but was thinking to have it fixed as a = backup / second lens. Does anybody know whether the rear element can be = replaced and, if so, what does it cost, ballpark figures ? Is it = economically worth fixing or should I just use the lens as a sort of = very small nicely made precision paperweight?
