Re: G1x mark iii foreign object inside the lens, has this happened to anyone else?

Well, I have spoken with the technical service and they have told me that the fixed price they charge me for supposedly cleaning it is: 189.99e and they assure me a 6-month guarantee, but if it has signs of water, falls, manipulation, etc., it is canceled that price and a budget would be made according to the damage, even if that is not the problem (I mean, maybe I changed parts that were scratched, pitted,... I don't know...). Logically it has signs of use and I don't know if the previous owner would drop it or something, even if it is not noticeable and to what extent its tolerance level would make the repair backwards and more without being under warranty (I have seen many cases with motives of blaming the user's affection due to misuse or general wear and tear when it is not) and also I do not know after the repair how safe the sealing of the camera and lens would be after opening and disassembling it. It also says that if they see it more feasible to change it for a used repaired one, they are within their right to do so and I don't know the quality of the one that comes if it will be as sharp as this one... so I think I'm going to wait until it falls into the sensor and see the problem in the photograph since now I don't notice anything except seeing it myself when I clean the lens or cover it. Thank you very much anyway and keep enjoying them, it's a great camera!!
