Possible issue with Nikons lens. Should I worry?
Hello!
I bought my 18-140 lens from a friend. He gave me all the warranty cards and receipt. He only used it once. Theoretically I got a brand-new lens for a little less than retail price.
However as soon as I inspected it I noticed the following:
A little bright speck under the front glass, which seem to be chipped plastic/metal/glass
And the most worrying:
Near that same bright speck, the outer edge of the glass seems to be peeling off.
Are those stuff that I should worry? I could just hit the warranty with Nikon but I don't want to pay 2 times shipping so they tell me it's alright and there's nothing they can do about it, or even that they wouldn't cover that under warranty.
Last option would be to try to return the lens to my friend, even though I payed less for it.
What do you think?
