SEL70200G

[Karlan]

i have a SEL70200G and the tripod mount has broken it´s only 8 months old  it opens by it self when i use it with my rapidstrap 

..i got a email from sony that a new one coust about 400Eur

How can the mount be priced at 400Eur it seems extremly overpriced?

Is there no warranty on this lens anymore, or have you towed a car with it?

it´s bout from ebay ...and the company dont take any responsabillity at all.

No its normal wear and tear ..the mount opens by it self it dont stay closed..

so i dont trust carry the equipment around with the rapidstrap ( normally it attaches to the tripodmount)

Search for "Tripod Mount Ring" in ebay and look whether there is somthing that might fit.

To karlan- 

Could the rapidstrap be a reason its malfunctioned, the tripod mount may not be designed to hang upside down for long periods of time perhaps?

The interlocking mechanism may only be designed to take the weight facing down such as on a tripod etc ?

This forum seems to be hacked and corrupted.

 

A Java script seems to include completely misleading commercial links to overpriced items in my above post and many other posts as well.

 

This violates heavily all agreed rules and common netiquette !

 

I do not want to have anything to do with the content of that post any more.

 

@Moderator: please remove this link, it is not in my name.

 

If something like that is possible in this forum, I will stop posting and would like to encourage all other members to do so as well.
