Schneideritis

110mm SSXL sold on eBay yesterday for about $1,100. That's hardly a "few hundred dollars" less than new.

Still, it's your money.

Ok, ok, points taken everyone. I'm certainly not rich so I guess I'll have to get more serious about used stuff on ebay etc. I don't really know what I'm doing when I'm on there (or other e-conomy sites) so I get intimidated and overwhelmed quickly. But you're all making pretty good sense so thanks for the help. Always good to get some new perspective.

Shouldn't they have corrected this by now? For this kind of money, I expect these things to be virtually flawless - cosmetically too.

Yep... exactly.

This is why I don't buy Schneider lenses.

I don't trust any company that totally ignores a problem that is so prevalent over such a long period of time.

My Rodenstock Apos work just as well, without any problems mechanical, optical, or cosmetic.
