Matt I didn't think you liar. The seller the way he came off on here showed me he was hiding something, more likely that the lens did work. He got darn outright mean about it just like someone who got caught with the fingers in the cookie jar. If that was me I would have refunded your money. I think your buyer remorse was a gut feeling you had about him. Even that said even if remorse there should have been a refund. What way did he ship it to you, USPS, UPS or Fed EX?
