timpy Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I just received my kinor 10-100. This was the auction:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321141551053?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Looks nice, doesn't it? Well, actually I noticed that all the elements inside are quite dirty. I put the lens against a lamp and made a short video: [media]http://youtu.be/bIjUIuFMoQ4[/media] I'm not a super-sharp-lens man and I always liked the low-res, flary lenses (most of my favourite lenses have some dust or even fungus) but I think this is a bit too much. What would you do? Return the lens? Cleaning service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 return it - its dead it will cost more than you paid for it to get it cleaned professionally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 11, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah like Andy says return it. Looked fine in the eBay pictures. I think it got shuck violently in transit and the dust is debris from dried up element glue. Either way, dust or debris such a shame as looks like an interesting lens.
