I have made several purchases to expand my large format gears recently, but I really could not praise the quality control of these brand new gears. Two months ago, I specially ordered several Schneider lenses from Badgergraphic, and they came to me factory sealed. However, I found the rear element of the 72XL was terribly dirty; As for the 150XL, there was lots of oil on the glass, and there were several deep scratches on the lens barrel. Badgergraphic exchanged them very quickly without any auguments. I also ordered a new Arca Swiss B1G monoball for B&H two weeks ago, it came to me with many scratches as well. I don't know if these cases are quite general today. As long as they don't have any impacts on the image quality, I don't care them much. However, as the Dollar is getting weaker everyday against Euro and I am paying much more for these stuff, I hope their build quality won't get worse.
