Sometimes you can have a worn lens with near mint glass, or a mint lens with damaged glass. Working condition and defects , such as dents or engravings, are described separately. Inevitably no one will agree with anyone ALL the time on grading. Please understand that although mistakes might occur, no intent is made to mislead. It's much easier and faster to do it right the first time than to disappoint customers.
All items are in working condition unless otherwise stated.
Special Conditions such as engravings, dents, deep or large scratches, are described in addition to the above terms. On Most Items I check all items before putting them out for sale, and also when I ship them out to make sure they are in working condition. I check shutters and meters to make sure they are approximately accurate, i.e. I check them by eye to make sure the shutter works at all speeds, that each speed is definitely different from the next, and I make sure the meter gives the correct exposure outdoors. I do not check each camera shutter and meter on calibration equipment. Let me know that you are returning the item to arrange tracking.
