Vent thread; feel free to ignore.
So, I can't seem to catch a break on ebay. I got a Chiyoko Super Rokkor 45mm f2.8 LTM lens from a seller on ebay. Supposedly, the lens was in great shape. I get it and not only is the focusing incredibly stiff, but they aperture ring rotates past the f2.8 and f16 stops so that it can go in a complete circle. What the heck? The seller will refund me the money, but how can a supposed camera dealer with 100% feedback miss these glaring problems with a lens? It took me 60 seconds to see everything wrong with the lens.
Sorry about the vent thread; I just can't seem to catch a break on a normal focal length lens. I just wanted something relatively cheap that would get me by with my Bessa R2 until I could afford an awesome Leica-made lens. I don't have anything in 50mm right now, just my 90mm Elmar. :bang:
Similar experiences, anyone?
