Does anyone know what happens when you send a lens back to somewhere like B&H ? Does some other forum member get it next, or is it returned to Sony ?
I would like to hope they don’t resell them as new, but I have a feeling they do.
I seen many comments on forums over the years about it took someone 2,3, maybe even 4 tries to find a “good” copy. I don’t think the retailer sends everyone of those lenses back to the manufacturer. Or sells them as open box.
Especially if the lens isn’t defective. Just not as good as another copy. As long as the packaging is pristine, I think they sell many of those returned lenses as new.
Of course, I have absolutely no proof of this. This is only a guess.
I've never bought anything, lens or camera, from B&H that did not have packaging (including all packaging inside the box) that did not look factory sealed
Same here. Everything I’ve bought from B&H has always appeared to be brand spanking new.
I definitely check too as I opening the item. You can definitely tell if the plastic bags around a lens or body has been folded once as it is at the factory. Or if it’s been taken out and folded up again.
But so far, everything I’ve bought from them, and Adorama for that matter, all look factory fresh.
That being said, I still do wonder what happens to all these returned lenses.
