Very cool to see that updated, thanks for looking into that Carsten.

Also, losing my Paypal dispute virginity over this lens. Seller claims to have sent a refund which I haven't received. Oh well, had to happen sometime.

There could be two reasons for a delay in the payment. The first one is that he didn't have enough in his PayPal account to cover the amount, and he or PayPal chose his bank account. Then the money must transfer from the bank account which could take a couple of days. The other possibility is that PayPal has done a random check on him, and is verifying all his details, which can take a week or a bit more. Both have happened to me as a buyer.

What was your reason for sending it back again? It sounds like a nice copy.

Interesting, thanks Carsten.

It was one of those early serial number 11,259's that Leitax says may not clear FF Nikon mirrors. I decided to just return it and look for a later one, rather than take the chance.

Yes, I understand that part, but the thing which hits is the rubber bumper around the rear element. It could be modified or removed. Anyway, I hope you get your money back without problems.

If the seller funded the refund with his checking account, I think there's a three business day delay. As I recall, you can click on a small link that says "details" regarding that particular transaction. Sign on to Paypal to view that transaction first.

It's pretty standard, so if the guy has good feedback, I wouldn't be too worried.
