A couple of days ago I received my 3rd used lens in the mail. It's this Nikon 70-210mm f4 Series E:
It came in a lens pouch, and after pulling it out, I noticed there was something else in it. I pulled out some folded paper and found a business card and receipt from a Korean shop:
So what I do know about this lens is that it's been at Mr. Chang Camera in Seoul, Korea. Looks like it was October 30, 2000. It may have been purchased from there at the time, but as there's a phone number added to the receipt, it may have been there for repair and that's the customer's phone number. Either way the cost was 280,000 Korean Won, which was $246 at the time.
I just thought I'd share as I always wonder about the history of some old/used items and it was kind of surprising to find a small clue of this lens' history. Makes me wonder how it made its way from Seoul to B&H in NY.
