Ok, let us stop beating around the bush.
This picture was taken from Post 582 about the Final Sample.
Notice the anodized disc. It is nothing at all like the Jaxman Z1. It is the Cometa we received.
In this group buy we got what was, for whatever reason; presented to us as the ‘Final Sample’ in Post 582.
That is what we received.
In my opinion it does not excuse the loose zoom threads, battery shorting on pill, extremely sloppy oversize driver pocket, poor quality glass that a few have experienced, nor the fact that this was advertised as a Jaxman Z1 host from the very outset…… as well as anything I may have overlooked.
PLEASE Take Note of the Next Sentence
In fact it is still stated in ORIGINAL POST it is a Jaxman Z1 host. :person_facepalming:
As far as I am concerned the 8 links below I posted originally a month ago sum up the Cometa disaster in a nut shell.
Like it or not however……. it is what it is.
