! UPDATE ! [Mar 28 2016] - Issue finally got resolved and that official US Fuji Dealer accepted return and sent full refund. --------------------------------------------------- Original post starts here [Mar 18 2016] : I've recently purchased Fuji 50-140mm from one of official US Fuji Dealer. It was good price deal on eBay for "open box" item in "truly mint" conditions, with 1 year US Fuji warranty. Unfortunately I received different lens sample, with damages on the lens body and on the front cap, despite "truly mint" description. But the worst thing - the lens has SN: 48A1.... , and box/receipt have SN: 55A0.... I've contacted store through eBay, and seller representative replied that he personally checks all SN, and the lens I received should have SN: 55A0.... Again, it's official US Fuji Dealer. They sent me wrong sample. And they say "Do you have more than one 50-140? Perhaps that is the source of the confusion.....". I feel very upset. But I'm going to investigate this case with all the possible ways. Looks like SN: xxA.... should be prefix of US models, and I hope US Fuji Support may may tell who was original dealer of this sample. 48A1 looks like very early production. I'm also curious where is the lens with SN: 55A0.... , and what's the point of having it without it's official warranty. What would you recommend to do further in such situation? What would you do in case SN doesn't match the item purchased from official dealer?
