I shot a macro of what I thought was a chip in my lens. Turns out, it's steel melted onto the glass. Anyone have any ideas of how to remove it with the least chance of damaging the glass further?
Update: I ended up just leaving it on there. No effect on image quality.

Outer lens damage is not uncommon (ie finger prints). I would just take it to Nikon and get a quote to replace that piece of glass.

Why didn't he have a UV filter on if he was spinning around a blob of molten metal???
