Most of the items I sell are older than 30 years and are usually second hand and sold as COLLECTABLES unless stated otherwise.

I DO NOT use them or put film through cameras but I usually check light meters, shutter speeds, viewfinder and cosmetic conditions on cameras. On lenses I check for fungus, wipe marks and general overall condition. I DO NOT describe every small nick, pitting, haze spot or small dust particles in lenses. HAZE is not FUNGUS. If the condition is noteworthy I will describe it. Mechanical things over time wear and grease looses its viscosity......so take that into consideration when bidding.

(PLEASE NOTE)MOST items I sell, ARE sold as collectables, BUT if you intend to use them to take photographs, then a service is recommended as there is NO guarantee on the performance of that item due to its age.

I REPEAT

All the best in your bidding and remember if you really want this item and bid late, bid high.

My Criteria;

A scratch is a deep mark or indentation on the surface of the lens from being dropped or hitting against a solid object.
Wipe marks on the front surface of the lens are made by the owner over many years wiping it with a tissue or cloth leaving very fine scratches.
Fungus is where the lens has a central spot with wavy arms leading away from that central spot.
Haze is in most but not all lenses and usually can only be picked up under a strong light but unless it is really bad does not affect the performance of that lens.
Separation is where the two elements are separating and leave a halo type image usually on the edge of the lens.
If any of the above is present I would describe it as such.
I have yet to see a lens that doesn't have some dust spots inside due to it's age unless that lens is virtually new.
Batteries are getting difficult to obtain these days for some cameras and I will mention that in my description.
