I take a pride in offering a trusted reliable and friendly service and I want
you to be happy with your purchase. Please read the following as it often
can save you having to ask questions and help you be clear about what you are
purchasing and avoid the cost of having to return an item.
If you want to know what 'good condition' means or any other of my descriptive comments
refer to 'DEFINITIONS' at the bottom of this page.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PURCHASE PLEASE CONTACT ME,
BEFORE leaving poor feedback, low star ratings or launching Ebay dispute
procedures.
I always do my best to resolve any issues that arise.
PLEASE READ THE [*] REFERENCES BELOW AS APPROPRIATE
AND CHECK ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
ALL ITEMS CHECKED AND IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION [EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFIED AS FOR
PARTS ONLY]
ALL LISTINGS ARE WYSIWYG [to coin an early 'mac' phrase] WHAT YOU SEE IS
WHAT YOU GET. [ie. if it is not in the photos it is not included]
BATTERIES ARE NOT SUPPLIED WITH POWERED CAMERAS/LENSES
I do take returns and provide full refunds including return postage for any
item that has been damaged in transit, or has been incorrectly described.
On most items there is a 30 day money back option if you want to return an item
for any reason, in line with Ebay terms and conditions.
Items marked with 'No Returns Please' have listed faults. They may be
serviceable, usable even though faulty or just for parts but I DO NOT accept
returns or provide refunds on these items. Please ensure you are clear
about the condition of the item before purchasing.
Please bear in mind that many of the items in my listings are over 40 years old
and can be a little delicate.
I do not replace camera light seals. I do however offer this service for an additional charge if required
Out of date unprocessed film is sold at the buyers risk and I do not accept any responsibility for the results of such film when processed.
Photographs are there to show the
external condition of the item faults such as wear, scratches dents or bits
missing if clearly shown in the photo are not necessarily included in the
description as I regard the photographs as part of the description. So
check them carefully.
*A brand new lens will be absolutely clear older lenses will have some specks
of internal dust. Describing as clear in this context is to differentiate
between old lenses with serious internal haze, fungus or wear to outer coatings
that will affect lens performance.
**When buying old lenses for modern digital cameras please check compatibility
before purchasing. Whilst most older lenses will fit your camera and work
well in a manual or semi automatic mode you may need to set your camera
controls to recognise lenses that have no electronic information transfer
connections. It is impossible for me to know how an old lens will work
with every camera so whilst I am happy to accept returns in such circumstances
this will not include postage.
***In most cases digital cameras are supplied without batteries or media
cards. Where applicable, chargers, software and other ancilliaries and
accessories are NOT supplied unless included in the photographs or description.
**** Flash guns: When using older flash guns with modern digital cameras it is
the buyer’s responsibility to check compatibility of output trigger voltages. I
DO NOT accept any responsibility for damage caused by use of inappropriate
equipment.
Quoted guide numbers are based on web search information and whilst I do my
best to ensure accuracy I cannot guarantee these performance indicators.
Please verify this information yourself before purchasing.
I am happy to ship worldwide, all shipments will be sent using Ebay's Global

customs or postal charges that may be applied in the destination country.

are usually despatched Monday morning.
DEFINITIONS:
For Parts and Not Working: It doesn't work! Good for display purposes especially if cosmetically good or for parts to make another one work.
Untested:
I have no way of checking whether it works or not usually because I don't have
the type of battery or other component to enable testing. This is a bit
better than FPNW because it MAY work but it’s your risk.
Average or Fair Condition: It’s a bit worn, scuffed and knocked about but works and is useable. I often also describe as 'scruffy'
Good Condition: In the context of its age it’s got a few scuffs and wear marks cosmetically and showing a bit of use mechanically might be a little loose, but fully working and useable.
Very Good Condition: It all works it is clean and tidy showing only slight signs of use and age coated surfaces, plastic areas show little sign of abrasion, with lenses the glass is clear again subject to the odd specks of dust acquired through age that do not affect performance.
Excellent / Superb / Mint: showing little or no sign of use at all, fully working. No rubbing on corners or brassing of black coatings. With lenses glass is exceptionally clear although may still have some specks of dust, focus tight, diaphragm snappy responsive and fresh and aperture clicks are nice and tight.
