Condition Rating Guide
| Condition | Rating | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Very Good | (A) | Items exhibit minor signs of usage and wear. You might notice small imperfections such as slightly distressed leather, minor wear on the metal parts, deterioration of seals, subtle signs of age on the bottom plate, or faint marks. These are minimal and don't detract from the overall appearance and functionality of the item. |
| Good | (B) | Items present well, but show more evidence of previous use than "Very Good" (A) items. This could include areas of discoloration, further wear on the metal surfaces, light scratches on various parts, or be in need of new light seals. Despite wear, the item maintains integrity and appeal. |
| Average | (C) | Items display a more pronounced level of cosmetic wear than "Good" (B) items. This may include more significant discoloration, more extensive wear on metal surfaces, visible interior or exterior black spots, deeper scratches, or more apparent lines in the eye prism. These signs of wear are more evident and indicate a well-used item, yet it remains functional and retains its character. |
| Fair | (W) | Appearance-wise, this item is significantly worn. It might feature non-working or absent parts, but its core functionality is intact. Expect noticeable marks, fungus, or haze on the lens, possibly affecting image output. |
