Leica Summicron-R 90mm f/2 MF 3 Cam Lens

Serial Number:  2463055

Manufactured in:  Canada 

Year of Production:  1970

MPN:  11254

PRODUCT FEATURE

This is a 3 Cam mount lens, which fully works on Leicaflex, SL, SL2 cameras with limited functions, in the case of LEICA R3 to LEICA 9.   Shutter/aperture balance is carried out mechanically.

This lens could be manually focused on all Leica M Range cameras, film or digital like M10/M240, most DSLRs cameras as well as mirrorless, such as Canon EF-Mount, Nikon, F-Mount, Panasonic L-Mount, or Sony E-Mount cameras,  and cinema/motion camera systems with a proper adapter. (i.e. Sony, Fuji, Canon, Nikon, Alexa, BMD, Red etc.)

Please do your own research if you plan to use this lens on non-Leica system.  An improper or cheap adapter may cause extensive damage to the lens. A return is not accepted if you find the lens does not work or is damaged because of improper or cheap adapter you apply

WARNING:  If you plan to use this lens on your camera, your extra caution is required.  Hold the lens barrel, not FOCUSING and/or APERTURE rings while you try to attach it to your camera, or an adapter which is attached to the camera mount. Otherwise, the FOCUSING or APERTURE rings might be snapped off or disengaged from the focusing system, resulting in damage. The repair cost for this damage may cost you about $300.00.  Please note that the buyer is responsible for the damage repair if this happens.

The condition of the focusing and aperture rings you have purchased is clearly described as being in working condition when the lens is listed. Then, again we will make a final inspection before we pack a lens for shipping.  I, as the owner of this store, will personally inspect the lens and certify that the focus and aperture rings are in working condition in the packing slip, which will be included in the package. Therefore, we will not accept a return of the lens due to the damage caused by careless handling even though you may claim you have not held the focus ring when attaching the lens to your camera or to an adapter.

RATING SCALE

OPTICS:   

Brand New:  Some brand-new lenses may occasionally have a slight amount of micro dust visible inside the lens elements. This is a result of the manufacturing process and will not affect image quality or resolution.

Pre-Owned: As with any vintage lens, a certain amount of internal dust and some light haze may be visible when holding the lens to a strong light source. However, when viewing the lens in normal lighting conditions with the naked eye, there is no visible dust or haze on this lens. This does not affect photo images in anyway. Lenses like this one will generally exhibit the same consistence. Also, sometimes, some micro dust can be attracted to the glass surface, and it can be blown away. 

Dust Level: 

No dust or a few visible

Minutes amount visible

Minimal amount visible

Moderate amount visible as expected for age, that will not affect any image quality.

Normal amount visible as expected for age, that will not affect any image quality.

Below average amount visible – may or may not affect image quality

Heavy amount visible – will affect image quality

 Difference between Scratch and Cleaning Marks on Glasses

*Scratch on the Glass of a lens: You can feel when you gently run a fingernail across it. A scratch mark if it is deep enough may affect image quality.

*Hairline/cleaning marks on the Glass of a lens: It is only on the coating and cannot be felt. They will not refract light and won’t affect any image quality.

Thus, you are highly encouraged to ask any questions before your final commitment to buy. 

For us to provide you with a sense of security and confidence, we inspect every item by taking following 3 steps.

 If we find any discrepancies before packing the item, we will notify a buyer of discrepancies and offer you with the following options:

1.  We will cancel your purchase and issue a full refund if you are no longer interested in the item.

 RETURN POLICY

 The return policy set forth by eBay in 2018 states that certain product categories have unique retail standards, and that seller will be able to offer variations on the new return policy options. Our products are in the category of CAMERAS & PHOTO, and they are included in unique retail standards. Since an item is previously used and sold as is, there may be minor discrepancies or oversight in description.

To be eligible for the return which the seller agrees, your item must be unused other than inspecting and testing the item and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

For the convenience to a buyer, we offer 30 days Return. This does not mean that you can use the item for 30 days free and that you want to send back it for a refund. It means that upon receipt of the item you inspect and test the item. If you find that the item is not what is described, you must notify the problem immediately to the seller. When the seller acknowledges your claim, you have a maximum of 30 days before you send it back to the seller.  Longer you wait to send it back, more possibility you will be charged with the usage fee. 

The followings are excluded from FREE RETURN.

1.     You falsely report an item is not what is described or damaged, so you can claim a partial or a full refund. 

NOTE:  Prior to packing a lens, the focusing and aperture ring movement is being recorded to show both focus and aperture rings are in working condition. The video recording will be provided to eBay customer service should a buyer claim for defective focusing/aperture function.  

2.      You buy an item with intention to use it and then want to return the item for a full refund.  

3.      You claim for something not offered in the original listing.

4.     You simply changes your mind, don’t like the item, or find another identical item which is less expensive than what you have paid.

 If you claim a full or partial refund with any of these exclusions which are stated in Item 1 through Item 4 above, we are entitled to deduct some amount or percentage from the purchase price. The amount of deduction is determined depending on the type of exclusion stated above.

The eBay Money Back Guarantee is designed to protect both buyers and sellers. If eBay decides that either buyer or seller abuses the return system which eBay has established, both buyer or seller may be subject to a range of actions, including limits on buying and selling privileges and account suspension.

INTERNATIONAL RETURN:

 Regardless of conditions, an item is not what is described, or is any of the exclusions stated in the return policy for a domestic return, a buyer is responsible for a return shipping fee. So please ask any questions before making a commitment to buy as an international return will cause financial burden to both a buyer and a seller. 

 Your understanding and acceptance of our RETURN POLICY is greatly appreciated.  If you feel our return policy is not acceptable to you, please do not proceed your purchase commitment to avoid unnecessary time and extra expenses to both of us.
