Damn, I bought an old lens from a Japanese camera store that described it very favorably. Lots and lots of photos, lens looked to be in great condition.

I get it today and the lens barrel is loose. Turning the focus ring or the aperture ring feels like gear slop. The whole glass stack wobbles, even under just gravity. I reached out to the shop to propose a partial refund to cover repair.

Man, I usually have very good experiences with Japanese camera shops. They typically are very critical in their descriptions of used gear, but they end up being in incredibly mint condition when I receive them. Which I guess, cosmetically, this lens is in excellent condition. The glass is incredibly clear as well -- no scratches, haze, dusts or fungus. Good shape for a 40 year old lens, other than the loose barrel... hoping there are just a couple screws in there that need tightening.

Bummer

funny if you don't think about it CSB

Mrs Mud (retired) asks "how much vacation do you have left?"
Me (6 days week/52-55 hrs) "I think I have 72 hrs left"
Mrs Mud "You should save some and sell it back"

I took Friday off, we had a date. I thought it went well. Obviously I am just a stupid man.

My vacation hours reset in August and I burned through them all before Thanksgiving. I still need to take some days off though...the last few paychecks have really sucked.
