Scratch on Focus screen...will it affect my pics? I have a used Minolta Maxxum 300si as my first 'real' camera. It has a small scratch on the focusing screen which I can see when looking through the viewfinder, but will it show up on my pics. -Ashamed to say, I scratched the screen myself(amatuers!) Thanks!

No, it won't show up on your pictures, because it does not interfere with the light coming through the lens and striking the film. It is a flaw in your viewing system only. When you press the shutter, the viewing system is out of the picture, so to speak, because the mirror flips up to let the light reach the film.

Great! I really appreciate your response! You buy used equipment to learn on, but learning from mistakes (scratching your equipment) is not what I had in mind! Thanks again!
