A public apology to BS Kumar, from Keith Ostertag

[keithostertag]

I recently sold a lens (with a broken aperture) via the Classified section where I casually and briefly mentioned in the description that I had originally bought the lens from BS Kumar (2 years previous). It was later pointed out to me that I may have _implied_ that Mr. Kumar had sold me a defective lens. That is _not_ what I intended, and I apologize to Mr. Kumar for any harm my careless wording might have caused him.

I have bought at least two items from Mr. Kumar during the last several years, and I have always been impressed with his professional and helpful communications and the high quality of his offerings. He is scrupulous in his item descriptions and has a clear and strong customer satisfaction policy and attitude. I believe he is an asset to the APUG community (has been for years) with a well-deserved good reputation as a seller you can trust.

It wasn't really necessary, but I do appreciate Keith's response.

I have bought a thing or two from Kumar. It has been all good from my point of view.

I've bought a couple of 4x5 lenses from him, they were exactly as described and he was easy & professional to deal with.

I’ve bought from Kumar a couple of times and have absolutely nothing to complain. I couldn’t find enough good adjectives to describe how good is to deal with him.

I bought film from Kumar and fully agree with all above.

I've bought from Mr. Kumar a lot of gear including my Toyo Original Field camera with 2 lenses, 2 backs, many film holders, shutters alone, another wooden back, many other Mamiya items, and he even assisted my need to upgrade years later the camera sending the right part i was looking for right from Japan to my home ready to install. He is a gentleman, a top seller and now a kind friend.
