Nikon Non-USA and B&H A+
Hello All,
Since this is the area where I lurk the most I figured I would post this here but Mods, if it needs to be moved, totally cool!:thumb
Anyways, in late May I purchased a non-usa model nikon 50 1.4. I continued to use my 35 1.8 but recently pulled out the 50 1.4. Let me preface by saying that I am used to shooting wide open with fast primes. Shooting at any ap on the 50 1.4 was slightly soft. Much more so than my 35 1.8. Finally I began some testing with it at 2.8 vs 2.8 on my tokina atx165 at 50mm.
It has a slight back-focusing issue. I assume thats what it is called when the sharp area of focus is slightly behind the plane of intended focus??
Anyways, long story longer, I called BH today and told them about my problem, now almost 2.5 months since I purchased.
They're response. "We are very sorry sir that you are having problems with your lens. Would you like to return or exchange it?" Needless to say, I wanted to exchange it, so they emailed me a free shipping label as well as a return/exchange authorization and made sure a new 50mm 1.4 will be waiting for me when they recieve my return.
Maybe this is normal service from them but for me as a long time buyer having never returned, it is a VERY welcome experience and I felt I needed to let everyone know about it! :thumb

Awesome service
I always shop for price, but when I factor in shipping and sales tax, I've never found a price that B&H didn't already beat or match with a phone call. Their customer support is the icing on the cake!
