Repair Sony 28-70 fe?
  • JackBayerJackBayer

    Hello!

    So I have a brand new camera with the above lens. After one day of stills shooting I can't mount it properly any more. The bayonet is bent. It protrudes on one side of the normally flat ring part. On the camera's side everything is perfect. I ordered it in South Korea, so firstly, do you guys think that I maybe received a knock off? And secondly, is it possible to exchange just the bayonet of the lens without messing with the optics?

    Thanks! Patrick

    Hmm. Maybe contact the Sony support (for an official list of repair centers / dealers).
    You can then send it in (shouldn´t be THAT expensive to repair).

    Though: First try to get a replacement through the dealer.
    (Btw.: I don´t think that it´s a knock-off - But do you have pictures?)

    I've written to the ebay seller and I'm now waiting for a response.

    I unscrewed the bajonet and the problem is both a bend in the metal and a broken thread (plastic) beneath it. What I don't get is that I'never dropped it?! It was 200 €, new on ebay, on Amazon it is about double that price.
