Return Policy: eBay has recently instituted a minimum return policy of 30 Days (to be considered a "Top Seller") which for used and very often vintage equipment is, in my opinion, too long. And all I sell is used and vintage equipment. I've checked the "No Returns Accepted" box for every item I am offering for sale but that doesn't mean I won't stand behind what I'm selling.

Unless otherwise stated every item will come with a 7 day return privilege from the day you receive it. This is something that I did way back when, well before eBay got around to instituting a return policy. And if I've made a mistake (I do on rare occasions) and it is not as described I will also pay for the return shipping. The buyer shouldn't have to pay for my mistakes. However, if you've purchased an item in error (e.g. an FD Canon manual focus lens to use on your EF mount autofocus digital body) or had a change of heart and no longer want the item within the first 7 Days then you're going to pay the return shipping as I shouldn't have to pay for your mistakes or post-purchase decisions. That seems fair to me.

I will also offer warranties of 30 Days or more on certain items. Expect to see that with more user oriented items than with collector oriented items.
 
 


Angenieux 90


 

Hello, and thanks for looking. Here we have a P. Angenieux Paris 90mm F1.8 type P1 lens #193813 in Leica screw mount (m39). Includes original front cap and generic rear. Dates to 1951 per camerawiki. Nice condition. Shows some use and age but no dents or dings or anything ugly. Glass is very good with some minor cleaning marks on the outer glass surfaces and some internal dust but no fungus. There are a couple of air bubbles in the glass itself, a remnant of the production processes utilized at the time of manufacture. The diaphragm is oily and though it works smoothly should be cleaned. Focus is also silky smooth. The lens works perfectly. Not a mint example but a nice example none the less of an uncommon lens. I remember reading that the early production of the 90 f1.8, this being one, were all Leica screw mount. Exakta, Alpa and M42 came afterwards. But I’m not 100% certain of that. I’m am 100% certain someone will be very pleased to add this one to their collection.
