I wish I had done the same after finding out that the A20mm f/2.8 lens that I bought from KEH was missing the small metal ball on the lens mount. Probably could have had it fixed. A lesson learned from me - always ask next time. You never know.
Anyway, that was a good buy there Michael. I saw that lens posted on a Friday I think and then not soon afterwards it was gone. Congrats! Francis M.

When I received it I found, as I expected, that the condition was much better than one would normally expect from "bargain" condition. One small disappointment was finding a slightly dented filter ring. Not a big deal - I've purchased Bargain condition lenses from KEH in the past and had dented filter rings, but I was a little disappointed that they hadn't mentioned it in their description of this lens. I related all this in a post to the PDML and *within half an hour* I received a phone call from KEH with an apology! (There was a KEH employee on the list.) And they refunded $50.00 on my credit card. This was all without my even *asking* for a refund, much less proving that there was anything really wrong with the lens. Phone 'em up. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com ------------------------------ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
