Keh.com had given me the permission to discard this lens I got from them. So that means I need not ship back this lens.
But to be frank, I don't intend to discard this lens, cos the condition of this lens is not that bad except that it had some fungus, going to send to bro fatigue to clean it up and get it converted to EOS mount while waiting for the replacement lens to be sent to me (hopefully it is not as bad) which I will get it converted to EOS mount as well. As to why I want both copies, so I can choose and keep one of these copies and probably let go the other copy whom might be interested.
ok i know there will be some ppl who critised me for this (for being unethical or what so ever). So i intend to lock this thread before this happens.
But here's my reasoning:
1. I
paid a total of USD $131.95 (including shipping) for this lens already.
2. It is not my fault that Keh.com needs to send me a replacement lens and neither I did ask for it. I merely email them what are they going to about it since I receive a bad copy from them. They
offered me this replacement lens at no extra cost as a gesture of goodwill.
3. They
have given permission for me to discard this lens and I
need not ship it back to them. But discarding this lens is such a pity given its condition (except for the fungus), so i am going to get bro fatigue to help me clean this lens
for a fee out of my own pocket and keep this lens instead (
afterall I had paid for it!),
Keh.com did not reimburse me for this.
What's next?
1. I will get bro Ben Ang convert this lens and the replacement lens to EOS mount and decide later which copy to keep (no point keeping two identical copies).
Charges for this lens conversion will be borne by me.
2. Most probably I will sell the other copy in this forum in B&S to whom may be interested. This may even be the initially fungus infected lens. But like I say, I will get bro fatigue to clean it first to ensure there is no more traces of fungus. I leave it to the interested buyer to do the due diligence check if he wish to buy it from me (of cos i will offer a few days personal warranty). Please note that this is a
"I want to sell and Buyer want to buy" deal, I did not force the potential buyer who is going to buy from me to buy this lens.
To be even more transparent. The current copy I have now that have fungus, the serial number is
3809165.
I don't like to do things in the dark, so to prevent myself from being accused of cheating in future, I make myself clear and transparent now. So before anyone starts pointing fingers at me, please read the above in bold and my intentions.
