Nikon lens problem with markings

I know someone at NPS they sorted it out. Stunned by the optical differences from the original condition. Shame as I carted it all around yellowstone and the rockies. Not one shot was as sharp as the one above.

That is what I thought, a bit bad though as the 16-35 that I was carrying by the lens most days was not affected at all. They must have changed the paint type to emulsion.

Another scary possibility is that it could be a lens refurbished by some Chinese workshop (without the genuine painting technology by Nikon)... Did you buy it from a reliable retailer?
 
Yes brand new from a UK retailer, Nikon would not touch it if was a gray import. They wanted the receipt to do the work under warranty.
