Appreciation post: the old tech at the shop in Cleveland told me to stop chasing every little scratch on lens barrels
Spent 20 minutes last week trying to polish out a nick on a 50mm barrel that you could barely see. The guy who trained me back in Cleveland looked at it and said "you're fixing it for you, not the customer." Hit me different because he's right. I've been losing time on stuff that doesn't affect how the lens works. How do you all draw the line between a real repair and just fussing?
