I don't agree a lens with such "modification" can be rated as LNIB. I only
accept one or two very slightly (perhaps less than 1.5mm x 0.5mm) paint
scratch on un-noticeable area as LNIB. Or most common, a Zuiko without
any paint scratch but only the paint look not shinning as used to be.

Happy or not is another issue, I will be very happy if I got any stuff
at a very good price to condition ratio even they are not as described.
