Three weeks ago, I mentioned that I dropped my camera, and did something to the lens, and how I had the Ritz Camera extended super duper take care of any problem warranty.
Well Ritz called on Thursday, to inform me that the lens was back and good to go. Sure enough I go there Saturday, and the lens is alive and well. I had my doubts, as I have been burnt in the past on these things, expecting the old “Well you dropped it and thats not fully covered” and having to shell out $20 or $30+, but that was not the case. I stopped by, and me being the dork I am, I forgot the camera at home, but we went ahead and tried it on an E-410 they had on the shelf. Everything is now happy and I am back to a 100% on the camera front, now if I could only get the talent part up to that also, I’d be a happy camper. And I didn’t have to pay anything for the repairs.
So if you’re looking for a camera, and plan on using it in a less then camera friendly environment, like kayaking, I would highly recommend the Ritz Camera extended supper whammo-dyne service plan, because I think to replace the lens would have cost twice what I paid for the service plan.
The other day I mentioned in Camera Klutz, I shared my stupidity in dropping my camera in the hard packed gravel (Only a few inches from soft mushy grass), and damaging the lens. For some reason, when I bought the camera, broke down and bought the extended warranty, not something I normally do but I’m glad I did this time. My wife dropped the lens off at the Ritz Camera, where I purchased it, and apparently the lens is covered, and I should see the repaired lens or a replacement in a couple weeks.
