I've just received my Contax 28mm f2 that I bought off ebay from Germany, however I think I'm going to have to try and send it back.
Ignoring the nicks on the lens barrel and the 3 or 4 (very fine) scratches on the lens (look like polishing damage), the focusing barrel is VERY stiff. It's so stiff, I can hear the play in the bayonet locking mechanism when I turn the barrel.
I presume this is NOT correct operation? My 50mm f1.4 is super smooth...
Is this expensive to fix?
I wouldn't mind if I'd payed for a 'good' ex&le, it's the fact that i paid for a Mint ex&le that bugs me!!
Thanks,
Jon
