I once had a custom rehousing done there that finally arrived after going a year and a half over schedule. Paid in full in advance. Upon initial inspection, the lens had a machining defect that required me to return it to them to fix immediately. They admitted the error and said they would fix it for free, but they refused to cover the return shipping/insurance/customs fees back to the UK, saying they couldn’t afford it. It was about $150 USD/each way. When I got the lens back again a month later (shipping again billed to me), they had put someone else’s front element in. They denied the error, but when pressed, offered me another front element from someone else. At that point, I gave up with them. Take your business to TLS, Duclos, or Focus Optics. You’ll be treated right at those companies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
