I recently bought a Nikon 80-200AF-D for my D300. Among other things, I mentioned to them that I was interested in doing portraits with the lens.
After a few test shots, I came to the conclusion that the AF wasnt accurate and sent it back. I tested the lens against my 80-200AF-S, shot for shot, (which was pin sharp at all ranges) so I was convinced the new lens was faulty.
That was two weeks ago and after a reminder to them to send my refund, they sent me this email reply!
The refund has gone forward and we will go back onto the payment card in the
next 3-5 working days.
For your information, there is no fault with the product. This lens in
particular is not suited to the type of photography that you indicated in
your letter i.e. portrait. It is designed more for distance and moving
capture.
Kind regards
I assume as they say the lens isnt faulty, I wont get the postage back?
Any comments?
I will be contacting Nikon too for their views.
