Yeah, with a drop to cause such a scratch, it may have damaged more than
you'd expect...

I bid low and I bid early and then sent request for more definitive
information about the scratch on the 24 mm and additional information
about
the zoom (fungus) figuring the 50 mm was a throw away and the body would
have
to be sent in for a major CLA and possible repair. My questions were
very
specific and I got a response which didn't directly answer the
questions.
Sent another inquiry with simple direct questions and got no response.
i.e.
Please describe the shape and size of the scratch on the 24 mm lens and
is
there any fungus inside the zoom lens? It looked like the 24 mm had
either
been dropped, landing on the front element or had been shot with a
pellet
gun
(see big white splotch at 4 o'clock). Figured if they had trouble with
simple communications prior to the purchase it would only get worst
after
the
fact. I sincerely hope someone got a Doris deal on this one, but either
way,
I glad I didn't pursue it. There's always tomorrow on ebay. Bill

Well put, Bill. There are PLENTY of other fish in the 's-E*ay', so to
speak.
