I had a quote to sell them a lens recently and in-between sending and receipt the lens manufacturer announced a new model. I know condition is subjective but I have never had a problem with any lens I have sold (and I have sold a lot) but when it arrived they marked it down from mint to excellent and reduced the quote from £775 to £590 because of internal dust and marks on the body.

First off I know for a fact there was/is no dust or external marks and even if there were imo it would class the lens as a lot lower than excellent condition because a £185 drop would suggest as much.

After doing another recent quote on their website for the same lens (which was a lot lower) I came to the conclusion that rather than admit as such they would just blame me for mis description.

Anyway I asked for the lens to be returned, left a less than favourable review and got an email the next day basically sticking to their story but offering me a £10 discount on any purchase over £100

Sounds very much like the issue with the original 17-70mm f/4. That was always to do with the SDM motor

Is this it?

Pretty sure I have one somewhere, will look over the weekend.

All sorted, sold .... Thanks for looking.

Hi Steve, it's an original boxed battery with all the paperwork.

Ok Steve, will pm you the details thanks

I have a new Pentax battery that was sent to me when I bought a used camera some time ago with a non OEM. Never used, £40 including tracked postage UK

50-135mmm sold elsewhere

£175 for the 16-50mm

Canon M5 and a few lenses.

If I want it pocketable then I stick the 22mm f2 on and away I go.
