I would point out that it is nearly exactly 2 years since I wrote that jibe in my blog posting of 19 April 2006.<BR/><BR/>For the record I bought the Nikon Micro Lens at the (then) "Fletchers Fotographics" store in Civic Centre, Canberra. They did get it repaired (but it took more than 2 months), but since then there has been another fault occur (but I can still operate it - with some difficulty). The ring controlling the M and A focus setting has snapped, and it tends to move from one to the other, or half-way in between, uncontrollably.<BR/><BR/>As the store in Canberra has since left the Fletchers franchise group, it is fair that you try to defend the reputation of your company.<BR/><BR/>For the record, for everyone else's benefit, Alan's Mittagong store is my closest Fletchers Fotographics Store. And so I suspect that he is sensitive as it might look as if I bought it from him. I did not.<BR/><BR/>Regular readers of my blog would have been aware that I spent 5 months in Canberra for extreme medical treatment, and I bought the lens while living there, (to cheer myself up). I got the Micro lens when I bought the new Digital SLR. It is a Nikon D70S, and I like it very much (nearly all the time).<BR/><BR/>I have had my camera serviced by Alan (personally) over the two years since I wrote my original comment. I have been happy with Alan's service, and have bought subsequent camera equipment form Alan, and am happy to continue to do so (if and when finances allow me to upgrade).<BR/><BR/>As I mentioned, the shop where I bought the camera has since left the Fletchers Fotographics group.<BR/><BR/>So, there you are, Alan. Not your shop (for good reasons, because of my extended absence from the Southern Highlands). And the store in question has since left the group you represent. I trust that satisfies your legitimate concern.<BR/><BR/>Denis Wilson<BR/>Robertson NSWDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-7792763005378189072008-04-24T21:52:00.000+10:002008-04-24T21:52:00.000+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Denis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-38328348335296457802008-04-24T15:21:00.000+10:002008-04-24T15:21:00.000+10:00QUOTE-It ought click into position positively, and...QUOTE-It ought click into position positively, and be ready to work. I ought not have to hold the lens in a particular position, to make it work!. I do hope "Fletchers Fotographics" are reading this blog (and Maxwells, the Australian Agents for Nikon). After all, what's the point of running a blog, if you cannot give someone a hard time, occasionally? END QUOTE<BR/>It would be nice to include the actual Fletchers shop which you purchased this item from as It was obviously not from my store as I would have Identified the correct lens for your use and looked after our local patrons<BR/>Alan - Fletchers MITTAGONGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
