Greetings and Salutations: Well, when I sent my last reply to this conversation (which didn't go through), my 16-50 was sitting on my front porch. The brown truck delivered it and never rang the bell. Didn't know it was out there, because I'd sent it for repair on 8 March. Based on all of the stories I've read, I knew that it should be a few weeks.
Mailed it via USPS Priority on 8 March 2016; it was supposed to arrive at Precision on 10 March. They received on Friday, 11 March. Repair was completed on 14 March. Lens arrived home on 18 March. EXPLANATION OF REPAIRS: Lens and associated items repair A complete repair and return all functions to factory specs. Complete cleaning (Internal - External) and optical system. DESCRIPTION OF PARTS USED: Motor Lens PC Board A Assy I've tested her, and she seems to be working as she should. Let's just hope the repair lasts longer than the original factory specs did. Cheers, Yonnie ==== Here's what I'd sent yesterday: "I finally sent my 16-50 off for repair. It didn't fail until long after the warranty period expired (of course). I sent it off to Precision. I'm keeping my fingers crossed after reading some of the posts in this thread. I'll update the list once I have her back from the spa."
