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.
 
 


Argus C Macro Kit

Hello, and thanks for looking. Here we have an uncommon or perhaps rare Argus C Series Macro Kit circa 1939/40, made by International Research Corp. at the time of the original C and the C2. Consists of a bracket with extension tubes and rods that correspond with framing plates. Used correctly the subject is placed on the plate with the correct tube and rods assembled and it will be in focus. Items in the kit are in excellent condition however it is missing a small piece of ground glass which is placed in the camera back with the shutter on B and used to confirm focus. The other thing that's missing is the instruction manual but (much to my surprise) a pdf of the manual is available online (search "argus macro kit"). Leather "hinge" between the top and bottom halves of the case is torn through and the case in general could use some clean up. But all in all it's a nice and truly uncommon item for the Argus enthusiast.
