Re: Both of my 20s were tight

I bought both of my 20s from Amazon. Buying from Amazon is something I've learned not to do as I've had nothing but problems with their electronics--PL2 had faulty sensor, PM2 had sticky buttons and shutter that needed replacing, 14-42 made grinding noise, MP3 players were scratched...

And both 20s I got (old version) would not fit on my camera. I got one one but it literally felt as if I was going to tear the lens apart. I'm sure some people would not have been strong enough to put it on. 2nd one was the same problem. I used it and while it was on the camera it was great but I'm reluctant to buy another. I have 3 other lenses and a few adapters with metal mounts too so that isn't the issue.

Yes, this kind of tightness and binding was precisely my experience with the 20mm I had to return to my  local photo store. Thanks for posting this, it will help call attention to this problem.
