  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Birger Lens Mount frustration venting

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm with you Martin. I have just reached a very frustrated point...again. I have been patient with the Birger for a long time. I bought a RED 18-50 while I was waiting. I have so much great canon glass that I am dying to use. A dumb mount just is not a workable solution when you can't easily control aperture. I don't want to spend a fortune on PL glass when the Epic's are around the corner. I don't want to buy a bunch of nikon glass just to have lenses in the meantime. I could have done this but was following the carrot of "we are almost shipping" from Birger for the last 9 months. Now the warranty issue that I thought was resolved raises it's ugly head one more time. WTF!!! I have to say my spirits are down. Now I'm trying to decide if I buy the 50-150 or take all that cash and buy old Nikon lenses where I can control the aperture manually and at least have that. Boo. I really wish this was a better situation with better choices. The glass issue is so much more of a sticking point than I thought it would be when I jumped into this pool.

Rant - ok - Thanks.
 
Posting here to try to get a call from Erik or Amy at Birger. Have tried calling but the voicemail box is full and won't take messages, nobody is answering the phone over the last two days. Nobody is answering PM's or numerous emails.

People need to know what's going on and when they'll receive their mounts. There has been no answer or reply from Erik in 12 days regarding anything.

I spoke with Erik on 29th and he told me that I'd have my mount in two weeks and to just hold on, I did.

I have tried and tried my best to remain nice and patient but I'm tired now of watching the thread and hoping for something/anything regarding shipment. I paid in full for my mount, got a FEDEX tracking number for shipment but then the mount was never sent out. I'm not the only one.

If anyone at Birger is reading this or reading the Birger Thread please contact me before tomorrow at 305-766-3238. This is my last try at communication privately.

Best to all,
Frazier Nivens, Ocean Imaging
 
Was good speaking to Erik, but there has been silence ever since.

Been now three weeks since my cancellation and I have not received a refund. Have mailed both Erik and Amy repeatedly and not gotten a single reply. Sent a PM to Erik. No reply. Sent off a final attempt at resolving this issue yesterday. You guess right: No reply.

Imagine if I could charge for the time spent on the Birger issue...
