Title: "L" Lens Mount Issue Post by: Tallyther on January 23, 2010, 10:30:38 AM Note the below comments on this used lens. Obviously I'm concerned about the special note in the last paragraph red type. Should I have any concern with this?
Barrel - almost no wear visable - somesmall paint chips near lense mount - see photo- a few skuffs and some paint wear also where hood attaches. Dent in front rubber - very slight - see photos. - Focus smooth - IS also relatively quiet compared to some I have seen and used. Lens Code - UT0212 Lens Serial #286xx Note please - lens not smooth to rotate when mounted on tripod - seems to be rough - might need servive on tripod mount if it bothers you.

It should rotate smoothly within the tripod mount, so either it's been subject to a lot of wear or it's been slighly damaged by a fall or bump.
In itself a stiff tripod mount rotation is no big deal, it's more of a question of how did it get that way. Title: Re: "L" Lens Mount Issue Post by: Tallyther on January 23, 2010, 12:41:14 PM Thanks!
