I have managed to sort out my email problems, so I'm back.

Now, if someone could help me to make a tough decision... Here's the story: I have two 
24/2.8 lenses and one has got to go. But I have trouble deciding which one. They are 
SMC-A 24/2.8 and SMC-K 24/2.8, both mint cometically and mechanically. Looking at 
light with 8x loupe, I can see that "A" has quite a bit of fine dust inside. "K" has 
only a few slightly bigger specs. 
I like "A", since it would potentially give me matrix metering when/if I decide that 
it's time to get out of 80's. Besides, it probably has more advanced coating. OTOH "K" 
has this fantastic smooooth feel to it... 
Deciding which one goes is driving me nuts. Suggestions? Is it worth the 
trouble/result keeping the dusty one and having it cleaned (it's not really showing on 
the pictures, but I am worried about losing contrast because of light scattering)? Am 
I over obsessing with it and should just flip a coin?

Best,
Mishka
