Hello all, I'm new to the forum.
Just wondering whether anyone has had this if they've trade in old gear with Wex. I sent in a 70-300mm and 35mm. They accepted the former offering a decent inspection value for it but rejected the latter, giving the reason as, and I quote "Moisture on the edge of the rear optic - uneconomical to repair"
When I packaged them up I first cleaned them down with Zeiss lens wipes, followed by a microfibre cloth. The 35mm didn't show any moisture so I'm not sure why they've claimed it to have. Anyway in the part exchange email I recieved Wex do offer to return the rejected equipment which I've asked to be done while accepting the cash offer on the 70-300mm lens. It'll be interesting to see wht the lens looks like when it returns. If it looks good and still works I'm going to take it in to a local London Camera Exchange.
Has anyone else had a similar experience.
