Well, I would at least be inclined to call them and complain. I've always
had good dealings with KEH, BUT,,, I just sold them 2 lenses in what I
considered mint condition, no marks and in the box with original packing,
caps, and warranty cards. They called me about them and said that they were
taking $20.00 of the quoted price because one of them had a dust spec on
one of the middle elements. I was shocked, as I never saw it, and if it had
dust there, it must have come from the factory that way. So I told them
that, and they agreed, but still said it was worth $20.00 less. Maybe you
can remind them of my story and get $20.00 taken off the price.
Thanks,
Ed
