Kind from Sony: They will repair the Jim Rassols 400mm GM lens!
Jim Rassol posted an update on the GoFundMe page:
I want to sincerely thank each and every person who donated to help me get my lens fixed. Sony is going ahead with the repairs for the amount in the Go Fund Me fundraiser and they are giving me a free year of my current membership to Sony Pro Support. Sony has been remarkable in this process. Usually, you only see this kind of outpouring of support when you lose someone. It’s so humbling to see how much people care about you.
Basically Sony has discounted the repair so it will be done with what the GoFundMe was at, and Sony is sending him an immediate 400 GM as a loaner for as long as the repair takes, and a free year of Pro Support.
