Last week I bought a new canon 10-22mm lens, I noticed when in the shop there was something on the front glass as it had been in the window, guy gave it a wipe and said it was dust, it looked ok so took it.
Took it out to play with last night and in the bright sun when I tilted the lens notices a small mark which was not obvious when rear lens cap was on.
My thoughts are the lens was marked when it left the shop as there is no way I had done anything with it to cause this as it had only had a few shots taken with it and the caps were always on when not in use.
I am calling the shop tomorrow, Jacobs, to explain and ask for an exchange but I am expecting hassle, though I have never dealt with them before this purchase so may be misjudging, what do you think.
also it does not seem to effect the pictures, but feel I should have a replacement as I believe the mark was either always there or occured when the dust or whatever it was, was wiped off.
Any thoughts or advice
