Tried getting a copy of the receipt from shop? If you've registered online then it should be fine. If local distro refuse to service you can always elevate the matter to Zeiss International by contacting them directly.

If cannot get a copy from the shop, Zeiss International will still service for me? btw i cant ask my friends to help me send right, since the warranty for zeiss lenses are non transferable.

Can't answer those for you but you can ask Zeiss directly on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/zeissgroup/?fref=ts They actually do reply. I don't think it matters who send it in as long as the lens have a valid warranty. Just tell them you already registered online but lost the receipt. See what they say.

It shouldn't. Most QC issues only really happen to Sony-manufactured lenses. Usually the others are *usually* exempt... though lemons do appear from any brand.

Okay thanks smile.gif buying 2nd hand lens or even first hand, other than checking the expected lens IQ , skewing of lens, soft areas . is there any other stuff to check for ? Put aside the physical condition of it.

One of the owner here. Never regret any single cent spend on this lens.

deciding between brand new rm5.2k , almost 1 yr used 2 yr warranty left rm4.7k, and grey set used ( no warranty ) rm4k with a rm150 filter. hmm.gif

currently i own a 1635 and 55. decided not to get the 85 cuz 55 is somewhat similar.

thinking about getting a 25mm or 28mm as a wider walk around lens which provides good bokeh compared to the bulkier 1635.

QC issues of these are usually related to decentring. All four corners need to be of *equivalent* sharpness.

Brick wall shots help much here: Take a shot of a even brick wall at f8 with flash, then flip the camera 180 degrees and take another. Compare the corners. The normal shot and the flipped shot should have similar sharpness in all four corners.

Otherwise it's just normal check for fungi, check for AF motors if they're fully functional, check the coatings... and you should be fine.

Thanks for the tip Eiraku smile.gif Btw need advice from you guys.

500 for 2 years warranty? Of course get warranty one lol. If the difference is more like 1k then only can consider a set without warranty. IMHO anyway.

Erm rm700 like that bah. Cuz the later is rm4000 with a rodenstock filter.
Hard decision for me >< its like half half between 500 and 1k haha.

Are you shooting with silent shutter? Try turning off e-front curtain too to use mechanical shutter only.
I updated mine to 1.01 once I got it, no issue so far smile.gif
