First off, I said I got it from a friend, I didn't say I'm selling it in behalf of my friend. Do you still have the sms? Or do you want me to post them here?

As for the photo if you can read properly, I said photo by the lens, not photo of the lens. Photo of the actual lens itself is posted outside the spoiler. Now the thread hasn't been edited since 3rd of May. I posted a total of 2 photos of the lens, one of which I moved to a new link, as follows:


The actual date that I received the complaint regarding the broken lens is on 1st July. As stated, I suggested him to return it Nikon Centre for repairs.

That's all the clarification I'm going to make.

Well unfortunately I did not say that I have a photo of the back of the lens.

Unfortunately for you, I did not state that the lens was new but working, yes, while I had it with me.

I can ask you the same question and you'd give me the same answer.

If you actually browse through all my threads of lens selling, you will notice that of 3 or 4 threads I'm selling lens, only 1 of them had a photo of the back of the lens. Again, all these threads had never been edited since the day said items/lenses are sold.

You think that I have a photo of every back of every lens? Sorry, I do not. Its not a standard to take a photo of the back of the lens. As a matter of fact, do you have a photo of the back of the lens dated 2 months ago?

I accuse of you of nothing yet you accuse me of everything. From the beginning of the deal, you had always threatened to open a dispute thread to defame me yet I held no grudge.

I urge all forumers to read thoroughly before posting a reply regarding the matter on hand.

I'm gonna make this point clear again, not sure if some people just read only the first post.

I'm not selling on behalf of my friend, that is where TS is mistaken. I got it from a friend, not selling on behalf.

Another point to note:
You used the lens for almost 2 months, you attach/reattach it to your DSLR, and you failed to notice missing screws? I'm sorry I can't see how you overlook that. While I had it, I certainly did not notice missing screws.

You're confident that I knew, well I'd say karma's is in effect. As a matter of fact, I did not know until you notified me on 1st July.

Me having a Safe Trader tag do not mean I come with a lifetime warranty, even lifetime warranty has policies that do not cover consumer misconduct or mishandle of product. To be honest, other than it being a demo unit(which I've compensated) and me having a Safe Trader tag, what else can you complaint about, really?

So if you're confident that I'm at fault here, I don't see why you have to remove me from your Friend list on Facebook, seeing you added me in the first place. Guilty, perhaps?

There is no need to call me sir, of age I'm younger, of experience I'm short.

Let's see... I asked you 1, 2, 3, 3 questions, yet you failed to give any satisfactory answer to any of these questions.

Oh so my face annoys you, that's most unfortunate for you. This is getting dumb and personal. Do you really want to continue this?

That case was long resolved. Admins and moderators were notified of that situation. But if you had read thoroughly you should know the reasons for that incident is nowhere near as this one.

The dupe matter was resolved, I would prefer people not to talk about it here as would our kind TS who's really happy about the fact that I was once accused of duping. Accusations of this sort, actually of any sort, can turn out very ugly.

I'm not sure if you can or cannot read, perhaps you simply chose to slide through what I said. Read thoroughly. I'm not going to repeat what I have already stated. Cheers mate.

So you're saying I'm a victim here as well?

As a matter of fact, show a photo of missing screws. You have been ranting it for days yet no one has seen a photo to prove your claim.

It seems you are all talk and no proof. Just wondering, but meh.

According to images you've provided and image below, the mounting ring and aperture ring simply cannot fall off due to 2 missing screws. As a person as meticulous as you, who repeated more than once that he take cares of his belonging very well, I don't see how you failed to notice to missing screws when you attach/reattach the lens.


Whether or not I have photo of the rear lens, it is already immaterial. I take it you want to know the reason why I said this? Alright here goes:
As a person as meticulous as you, who repeated more than once that he take cares of his belonging very well, I don't see how you failed to request a photo of rear lens before me shipping the parcel to you. That being your standard and all.

I cannot extract exif from your image so I'm going to assume these 2 photos were taken around 1st July. Still doesn't verify or prove what may have happened while the lens was with you, you being the cause or not.

Regarding the lens being submitted twice for repair, I advice you to provide proof before making any more accusations of any sorts. If what you say is true, it simply means you and I are both victim of foul play. I have no issues with making a joint police report.

If you read thoroughly you will know the demo unit issue is resolved and compensated.

Apparently dropping a lens or knocking it do not guarantee a 100% scratch. People who have sent lens for repair will know.

Invoice dated 6th July 2012? There's something really off here. Just some time ago you were still ranting about Nikon not letting you have back your lens.

Oh so sorry, I must have picked that habit up somewhere. But still doesn't make sense to your senseless ranting about Nikon holding your lens.

There's a catch here. What you say may be true but its not detectable, unlike the lens where said missing screws are clearly visible. And there's no sticker to rip there either.

If so he could've asked for a full refund, not compensation. Learn the difference. By the way, who's silverware?

Not sure if I'm blind or they can't learn the difference between refund and compensation.

Me being a student or not has no hand in this matter. Do not post unless you have something useful to contribute. Ranting is not useful contribution.
