If you bought a USA Passport Warranteed lens, the repair should have been
completed in about 9 nanoseconds..... with the replacement of the lens.

If the lens were grey market ( International Warranty) then the repair
should take 10 nanoseconds.  Same result.... new lens.

When items that are obviously defective are not immediately taken care of, I
would scream like crazy until the replacement were in my hands......

I will assume that the lens is defective, and that this is not due to some
bizarre user abuse..... I wonder how you can see the flaking coating ( which
is moelecules thick), and more to the point, that coating would have maybe a
miniscule effect on the negs.......how do you tell the negs are so bad if
this is the only damage to the lens???? DO you have before and after
pictutres to compare?
