Camera jungle is part of jessops , the others mentioned are all of the same ilk ,they buy in part exchange items then re.sell .. tbh no one would suspect that the particular lens I had was faulty till it was tested on b.i.f in the field .it was unmarked and looked in new condition ..
It was sent next day by DHL and picked up again by them the day after I reported it faulty at no cost to myself . And apparently this is a common fault with these lenses .
I have never used Camera Jungle but I have used the others and I have reason to believe that they do more than a basic test of their products. Full marks for them in terms of service.
The big difference however is that I have bought lenses in person rather than by mail order so I have been able to discover any problems before parting with any money. I appreciate that, for you, this isn't as easy as it is for me just outside London.
I am also interested to hear that this particular lens has a known problem because I have been considering one to replace my AF 300 f4. I'll be thinking harder about that now.
