Eric, 

From what I've read about coatings and polishings, there is risk to the
lens. (heating and polishing/grinding) If the lens performs well, I
wouldn't mess with it. Use it till you're sick of it and sell it for
what you can get.. Let the next owner deal with the decision.. If you're
a shooter.. Shoot with it. :)

I am in a dilemma.

I have a Black Leica 21mm f3.4 Super Angulon Ser No.2417270 with font
and rear caps and original finder.

The lens needs the front element polishing and re-coating , over
enthusiastic cleaning by a previous owner !! , cosmetic really as it
does not appear to have any effect on images taken with it.

Anyhow i am now in two minds whether whilst getting the front element
polished and re-coated by Malcolm Taylor , to get the lens also modified
to meter with the M6 at the same time.

Should i get this done and in some peoples eyes ruin the lens or should
i sell the lens as is and get a used 21mm Elmarit ASPH ?

Best Regards
