I have been a user of Nikon cameras and lenses for a long time . They have
served me well and except for a few things that pains me , such as cheap cases ,
cheap neck straps and no image software support for the cameras but most of all I've been pretty
happy with my system.
Until today . I dropped off a couple of lenses to be repaired by the same
service I have used for years . One lens , the 17-35 mm needs a couple of parts
that would normally cost about 5 dollars each. The job would be done in a week
at a cost of 185.00 dollars.
There is just one problem .Nikon will not sell these parts to independent
service centers any more. Worst yet after checking with Nikon they won't sell
the parts I need even to a certified Nikon repair center. I have to ship the
lenses to Nikon for repair and then wait for who knows how long to get
everything back .Not to mention the high cost.
Nikon has turned into one the worst user friendly companies I have ever done business with. I was thinking about upgrading my D300 and D700 cameras ,
instead I'm thinking of just switching to Canon.
Way to go Nikon.
