Mamiya Lens repair

[redsnapper]

Anyone know if I can get the front element changed on a Mamiya-Sekor Z f65 lens. If I look carefully I can see some very faint scratches on the surface - just got it (cheap) so time will tell if they show up on images, I just need an option other than binning it if they do.

Thanks CT. I spoke to them and they can do the job if I need it.
I gave it a good ol' clean last night and it is 100% better than it was - the guy must have kept it in the bottom of his sock draw for years with no caps on!

Bummer! I just picked up a mint 50mm f4.5 for the RB67, but when you look at some of the gear on ebay it looks like they've been using it to block the back wheels of the car!

Y'know, it has to be really bad for it to show up in pics.
my Bronica 50 has a 3mm scratch on the front element, it isn't faint at all, but even @f/22 I cant find it in photos.
