That's what happened when I bought my K15/3.5 off eBay. The seller had 100% +ve feedback and the lens was in horrible shape. The repair job was lousy. The inner elements were dirty. And I had to relube everything. Luckily I have the tools and parts to bring it back to like new condition (the reason I did not ask for refund, but I certainly would not pay that much for it if I had known upfront). The seller did not leave feedback until 2 months later. I think the eBay feedback system sucks. It is just a false protection. ===== Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
