QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Oct 21 2021, 06:48 PM) Hey man... True. The panny was indeed less problematic... However, kept going back to the oly for various reasons..... thankfully Digital Fix Care managed to get it repaired... Not cheap but definitely lesser than what OM was quoting... Hopefully it won't act up again Had the same 'pls refer to status of the lens' problem with my 14-42ez after 1.5 years light use, just a month or two after warranty period. Considering repair or getting a different brand, though I like it for its compactness. Mind telling what's the cost of your repair and what part(s) was replaced? |

QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Oct 23 2021, 11:01 PM) According to DFC, it's the aperture flex cable that needed replacing. Cost me a whopping RM150.... but like I said, way lower than what OMD quoted, and a brand new one will cost me even more. Somehow, this kit lens is quite expensive if you buy it new. Thanks. If I could use the lens for another 1.5-2 years after repair for rm150 seems reasonable. Better than getting a used one. A brand new is out of the question. Any warranty from the part replaced? And if so, how long? Where's the location of the repairer and his contact no? |

QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Oct 24 2021, 03:26 PM) Yes. my thoughts exactly. I just love the combo of IQ, AF and compactness for just everyday shooting. even used prices for this lens seem a bit  I do have bad luck with this lens.... though I try my best to be gentle with gear that I think need more TLC. I don't think you'll get any warranty for repairs like these. He took around a few days to repair it, of course it takes longer for me to post/receive. I don't think even OMD has warranty for this particular repair (not sure about this one, maybe others have more experience). Google for Digital Fix Care, the shop is situated in N9. If you want more info, maybe can PM.. i don't think it's good to post people's details in public forum. ^even I was introduced by a carouseller. Shout out to you bro Taq! Ok. N9 is no go. Thanks all the same. Good luck and have fun with your 'new' lens. 😁 |

QUOTE(COOLPINK @ Oct 26 2021, 12:24 PM) you know you can contact the shop first and see it they would received your lens by shipping it to them to repair it and have them ship it back to you. you just have to factor in the shipping cost tats all...... still cheaper than oly service center yo... Thanks. Think I can get a quote where I am, besides oly, but will let it cool a while for the time being. Can get by with my other lens or other dslr. No hurry. |
