I bought this for my child's homework, but I only used it once. I didn't see any scratches on the lens. I've borrowed the Amazon description from when I purchased it: ↓ 【No vignetting, no distortion wide-angle lens】Enhanced with a high-quality, distortion-free 0.6x wide-angle lens! LUXSURE emphasizes no vignetting and no distortion, and with MRC coating technology, it uses a larger diameter lens than ordinary wide-angle lenses, completely correcting the vignetting and distortion at the corners, which are drawbacks of ordinary wide-angle lenses. This prevents not only vignetting but also distortion in photos. ・Instant purchase is OK. ・I may use recycled packing materials from my home. ・I may compress items as much as possible for shipping. ・I'm very sorry, but please refrain from comments about price reductions.
