Hi everyone,
I like to highlight cases of excessive charging of lens fungus removal service by Nikon.
I have brought 2 lenses (17-55mm and 24-70mm) to NSC Singapore for fungus removal. The quote I got from the service counters was in excess of $800-$1000/- each time. The scope of work includes changing of barrel.
Does Fungus Removal warrant the changing of barrel?
Now all I needed was just fungus removal. Why can't nikon simply detach the lens element and clean it up for me.
End up I had to look for a third party to do the cleaning.
I feel nikon is ripping people off with such service. All I needed was a simple "Carbon Removal Service" for my "Car". Instead I was quoted for an entire "Engine Overhaul". :thumbsd:
