Even though they say no return, they should be held accountable if it is not as described... Ask for your money back...Of course you'll have to pay to return the lens and -- if they refund your payment -- you most likely will not get your shipping and handling charges...

The lens was described as "EX" with a "slight mark" on the lens. I just re-read the description of the "slight mark" on the lens. The slight mark is a surface gouge that is over 1/8 inch long and is 1/2 inches from the rim - i.e. not close to the edge. And there are additional defects on the lens, particularly that the lens surfaces are full of cleaning marks and there is something loose inside the lens. In fact, it sounds like a lens element is loose. So is that "EX" to you? The auction states "no return". Is there any recourse? ..Vick _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
