The next "four" replacement lenses were no longer approach the quality of the first lens. There were silver scratch, a not properly crafted bayonet that the blocking screw, inclusions of dust and lint from the lens, a 1 cm wide dirt edge on the extended tube, and other quirks front of the lens edge of the front lens, which could not be overlooked. This is something I could not accept at a "new" lens.
My initial enthusiasm for Nikon lenses in the "normal" price range is now turned into Converse. Although there are exceptions as always, I also call my own.
Each additional applicant must decide for himself whether he might want to invest a lot of time but then to stand end without lens here. I for my part will for the time being to take any further attempts to fish out a well-made lens. We're not talking about a 200 EUR lens, but no less than EUR 500.
Maybe I was lucky the next lens again. There are also the saying, "All good things come 6!" or how did that?
The camera was a Nikon D5300 to.
