Does the Gold-line of your G lens peel?
Mine juz peeled (dont use much of this lens) and it seems like sticker tape. Worried that it may affect the resale value in future should I decide to sell it.
Any user with similar experiences out there...? Or should I be bothered by it at all? At least till I wanna sell it.  |

Re: Does the Gold-line of your G lens peel?
nikon and canon has 2 kinds.
one is just a thin strip of sticker pasted around the lens and thus looked like a ring. the D40/40x 18-55mm kit lens has a ring around it made of sticker which is easily peeled the others are those found on lens such as the 70-200, it is not a sticker, instead it is painted onto the lens

Re: Does the Gold-line of your G lens peel?
all my Gs have not peeled too. But some have white stains which resembles oxidation.
Anyways many of these Gs are more than 10yrs old already, as long as its optically perfect with smooth focusing and zoom, the slight cosmetics defect are mostly expected and should not affect the resale price much. |

Re: Does the Gold-line of your G lens peel?
Its in the dry cabi most (99.5%) of the time. Anyway, the loose end is dangling and irritating. Will probably remove it completely. Guess this model is not painted but stickered-on. Got this lens in '06.
Thanks for all the replies... |

Re: Does the Gold-line of your G lens peel?
skarly it's because when you remove the gaffer tape it pulls at the gold ring, until one day peel off...

Re: Does the Gold-line of your G lens peel?
Interesting... relook at the 85G and the "G"old strip is indeed a sticker in a groove and not painted on.
