Help! Opinion Needed

[michaelsalomon]

this is a weird one, and im not sure where it belongs here so its in the gray area forum....
anyway
I recently sold a NIKON 80-200 F2.8 ED AF ZOOM LENS on ebay....it had fungus on the glass so it was priced accordingly and fugus was clearly outlined in the listing.
Before I sold it, I mounted it on my nikon F100 and my nikon F5 to check if it was functioning properly....no problems, and the lens was listed as working fine.

someone purchased the lens and after recieving it yesterday they sent a note saying the lens doesnt work on their nikon D70, and that I may have somehow mislead them or lied about the condition of the lens.

Since were all photographers here, I was curious to see what other people think of this situation, as I said the lens functioned properly on both my nikon slr's....could I be wrong in any way becuase the lens does not work on a D70?

Thanks fo any opinions anyone may have, just not 100% sure how to handle this situation at the moment

I thought the point of buying one brand's digiSLR over another (or, at least, part of the point) was that one could continue to use the same lenses...

I can't help you with Nikon or the D70, but...

I would just take the lens back. Say - "hey, I'm sorry, it worked on my bodies, didn't realize it wouldn't work on the D70." and be done with it. This sor t of thing isn't worth fighting about. Just relist and resell, or sell somewhere else. If somebody asks you about compatibility, be honest. Tell them you don't know about the D70 but you were told it doesn't match up. The new buyer will either look into it or move on.

Good luck
