Hi! AG> I just received a Tamron 90mm Macro that I bought on ebay. It was AG> supposed to be in "like new" condition. Turns out there is some sort of AG> grit in the barrel, under the focusing ring. I asked the seller if she AG> took the camera to the beach or something. Now I'm either going to have AG> to return it to her, or get it serviced by Tamron. Anyone know how much AG> Tamron might charge to clean sand out of a lens?
AG> Grrr.... Amita, may I suggest that you return the lens and look for another one? I think these lenses are not that rare that you would have to go all the way through the trouble of having it serviced like that. At least here in Israel, I'd rather not let anyone but myself handle my gear. Aren't you living in NYC? If so, perhaps a visit to KEH and Adorama's second-hand gear dept' is due... That's all stands of course unless you paid really attractive price for the item. Just my cents. Boris ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED])
