would you say something? need your opinion asap please.
there is this person selling a 17-35 AFS lens that has a lens squeak issue. the person noted "the squeak doesnt affect the performance"
now as a person who bought a 28-70 AFS used from someone (who said there is no squeak) and had the lens squeak and sent it out of country for repair after it died within 2 months or so, im having a bit of problem with this. the person is dumping the lens knowing a squeaking lens is the beginning of the end of the motor. sometimes its just the bearings, sometimes the whole thing goes. but repair has jumped since nikon usa doesnt repair it.
nikon US doesnt repair this lens anymore and im not certain but maybe japan does. it was a bit of beaurocracy fight to send the lens out and get it back without paying customs but there arent many options who really know how to repair this.
would you just mind your business, or say something?
