R redwine Member Jan 20, 2008 392 0 16 May 11, 2009 #1 Hi, Thinking to get a grey set of lense without warranty. This will save $300 compare to a local set with 2yr warranty. Any advice on which is the better option ? Thanks

I guess those that use 3rd-party repair would be able to advise since they are more aware of the amount of $$$ required for typical repair. I'm more concern on focus calibration cost though.

R redwine Member Jan 20, 2008 392 0 16 May 13, 2009 #5 Thanks, I'm thinking to get it while i'm in HongKong. Tin Cheung just say they only have grey set, not sure if they'll provide 1 year shop warranty. Anyway it will be quite useless to me as i dont travel here too often.
