I think I have given up on Adorama. A LOT of people have tried to warn me off of em from bad experiences, but most of mine
have been positive. But Passover knocked them for a loop. TO much weed or something. I got a used Canon lens from them
and it was not cheap, $399 in grade E, so no dust inside, hell two grades above lenses with visible dust inside. But it is littered
with large bits. As I use it a lot above f/8-f/11, these are spots I will end up having to paint out. if it had been graded G, or even V,
I would have had no complaints. But I paid for E and got G, so I am sending it back. It is almost 9 days since they got back
from Passover, having been gone for a week. And they are just not gettin after it. I was looking for a refund of at least $100,
and they want more pictures, dragging their feet, and giving up a customer that spent 9 grand on used and clearance material last year.
I hate it for em, but I hate it for me even more. Now I have to pay a premium on the same stuff at B&H. Pick any lens and
check both places for like used grades. You'll see 15%-20% more in price at B&H for the same used gear. SO as my dad used to say,
its gonna hurt me a lot more than its gonna hurt them. But after 20 months of faithful patronage, I am out. I am not suggesting
anyone not use them, I loved using them. But this is lame, slow and not worth my time. They were gonna slow drag right through
my 30 day return warranty. F that.

Bye Bye awesome lens. Well, not really, for $50 more during a Canon lens sale at B&H I just replaced it with new...100mm f/2 for
$50 more than I just paid used (and dusty) and free shipping to boot. I am sure Adorama has the same sale on, but bump that.
