I refused delivery on a BMW in 1991 because of very fine, almost invisible, scratches in the hood. They fixed it and it was perfect. So I then accepted it. Bottom line, even though that speck couldn't possibly effect anything in your photographs, you should get what you paid for. When you pay for BMW, you don't accept Yugo. When you pay for Leica, you don't accept Cambron. That's it! Jim
