You may have a point George. My initial reaction to reading Oben's note was to
look at the situation in a negative way. But now I realize we cannot yet make
conclusions.

Oben,
You haven't been "Burnt" by them unless you tried to return the lens or get a
repair and they told you to go screw yourself. They have always been more
than fair to me in my dealings with them. I even returned a medium-sized
purchase for a REFUND after merely changing my mind. No hassels, they gave me
a refund, no store credit or anything like that.
You shouldn't post an inflamatory message like that before all the facts are
in. Someone who doesn't have the time to read your message may just see the
title and draw a conclusion in their mind from that. Be fair, as you
certainly want them to be.
Regards,

>Guys,
I just got a 50mm f1.2 from Cameta Camera in Amytyville. And I have a minor
'horror' so to speak. The cosmetic appearance of the lens is truly mint-
like they had graded. The functions are OK too aperture and focussing is
smooth BUT the rear surface of lenses front element has marks... either
cleaning or fungus related... i can't tell. Also they supplied a generic
rear cap that I think was a bit of a cheap shot too when they probably have
lots of originals.
What do people recommend in this circumstance? Should I return the lens? Or
should I have it cleaned and just never buy from Cameta again?
I'm going to stop buying over the net; this is the second time I've been
burnt now.
Cheers
Oben
