#242 in Melbourne

Finally! Unpacked it last night and got it running. Batteries take forever on the first charge, so haven't got a lot to show yet. Some missing pieces and a possible return on the lens / lens mount (the PL isn't locking down the lens flange properly...)

Not available for rental yet, not until we sort things out, but possibly for testing. Will keep y'all posted.

Congrats on the delivery, sorry about the problems.

If you have to return faulty bits, do you have to pay the shipping? This is my biggest concern about not picking it up.

Cheers,

Jim

Cheers, Tim.

Cail, Are you sure about the PL mount not fitting. There's an outer flange on the 18-50 lens that sticks about about 1/2 cm from the camera PL locking ring.
Dave,

We're getting the lens in just fine (I'm not inexperienced with 35mm PL lenses) but we've got to really jam the ring quite hard to prevent the lens from rotating. We also have an issue with the zoom ring sticking on the lens, but that's seperate.

I PM'd Brent today and asked this question about accessories and shipping costs etc.

Quote:

"There should not be any import taxes as it would be considered a zero dollar warranty replacement. But I am not a logistics expert so I can confirm.

The main concern for most posters has been the finish of the accessories. This issue has been resolved. So, since you have not received your gear, it should not be a concern.

If a part is received and considered sub-standard or defective, we will take care of shipping costs."

So there you go, that's his response.

Days away for #903 in Brisbane!
