Are de-kitted lenses more prone to sample variation?

Re: Are de-kitted lenses more prone to sample variation?

It's been around well over a year, kitted with multiple bodies, and already undergone a mild aesthetic revision (to matte exterior)... So yeah, it's a moot point, first production run is long gone.

I think if anything, refurbs might undergo a little additional testing since the manufacturer doesn't wanna see it returned yet again... I dunno where Pana refurbs are readily available stateside tho, Oly has a refurb outlet with good deals (really good sometimes) but I haven't seen a Panasonic US equivalent.
