Originally posted by normhead From what I understand lens rentals quoted by some one, all manufactures have about a 4% rate for their lenses being defective upon delivery. That's 1 on 25. It sure sounds like you were one of the lucky ones. I think Rondec has both a K-1 and a DA* 55, maybe he'll weigh in.
That may very well be the case. I sold it on and stayed without a normal prime. I decided that if there wasn't something ready to sell by CP+ I would just pick up the 43mm ltd.
After I saw this announcement, I went over to the marketplace and someone had just listed a 43mm in mint condition, so I snapped that sucker up.
