That's an excellent price. I paid the equivalent of approx. $ 115.- incl. sh
for mine.

While my sample does not have any scratches, I don't think a scratch as you
described it would have any influence on picture quality. You're probably
right about the aperture ring, and after all you have 2 weeks to test it.
Shoot some pictures with it, especially in lighting conditions where
scratches tend to cause flare (like bright sunlight), and if they turn out
ok, go for it, as this is a great lens.
