Originally posted by kiwao Just received a Pentax M 28mm f3.5 lens from Adorama. According to their website this lens is in excellent condition and I payed excellent condition money. The front element is scratched and has other marks. It rattles when I shake it and the fstop ring is sloppy

Excellent!!!! This is not my definition of excellent and infact doesn't match their website definition either.
What would be your definition of a lens in this condition??? Has anybody else had a bad experience with Adorama
Doorstop. Call them, express your dissatisfaction in a calm businesslike manner, return the lens, and move on. It's entirely possible too that they sent you the wrong one. Was this by any chance an ebay auction? I ask because you have more leverage in that case than a direct purchase.
The 2 or 3 times I've dealt with them, no problems at all. In fact, I believe they are one of the better ones out there.
edit.. sorry, I didn't see your location. I'd be pissed too
