p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Is there anyway this is possible? (Zeiss lens INSIDE Nikon housing??) | |
So I was browsing eBay this past weekend for a 70-200 VR II and I stumble upon this auction
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111362193815?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
$575 for a 70-200 VR II...? Whats the catch? I scroll down and see
"Note:The lens has been modified by the previous owner!It looks like the Nikon Lens,but is in fact the Carl Zeiss lens.The Zeiss lens was planted in the Nikon lens body.That's to say,the lens body belongs to the Nikon,while the glasses are the Zeiss lens.It can be used on the Nikon SLR Digital Cameras directly!!"
My curiosity goes through the roof. I sit there pondering and looking through the pictures for a while and see nothing different. I decide to buy the auction, since I'd be protected by eBay/Paypal, but only to receive a message about an hour later from the seller saying they sold the lens in their store and couldn't remove the auction in time and its no longer available. I'm still upset about it.
I did ask if that was actually what was being sold, the zeiss inside the nikon, and the response I got was
"Yes, sometimes we will combine 2 lens in 1, means use good part of 2 broken lens to build 1 good lens.
We use zeiss lens put in Nikon body, and i had asked my colleague, he said the VR is ok, but autofocus might not work good."
Is there ANYWAY that this is possible
