PRODUCT FEATURE

cameras as well as mirrorless, such as Canon EOS, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic 4/3 and Micro 4/3 system, Sony, Pentax, etc.,   and cinema/motion camera systems with a proper adapter. (i.e. Sony, Fuji, Canon, Nikon, Alexa, BMD, Red etc.)

But we make no guarantees about usability of this lens on any system other than Leica R Series Cameras. 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: 

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 your invoice 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.

RODUCT CONDITIONS

OPTICS:  Even 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. 

 Please DO NOT use a flashlight to exam/inspect optic conditions because scratches/marks on the flashlight glass reflect through the lens elements, resulting in inaccurate inspection.

Since the item is not available for your physical inspection, it is our policy to offer you detailed descriptions of each item and up-load up to 12 photo images, taken from various angles.  These photos are not altered nor modified by any means.  Please take your time in reading the detailed description and examine the images carefully. Although we have tried to describe the item as accurately as possible, we might have missed something that may be important to you. Thus, you are highly encouraged to ask any questions before your final commitment to buy.

 RETURN POLICY (Please read carefully).

 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 descriptions.  

Please understand:  Description is based on the seller’s standards, which may be different from yours. 

In the unlikely even the item in your order is SIGNIFICANTLY not as described or has been damaged in transit, you must notify the problem immediately to the seller within 4 days of receipt.  When the seller acknowledges your claim, you have a maximum of 30 days before you send it back to the seller.  

This does not mean that you can keep or use the item for 30 days. Longer you wait to send it back, more possibility you will be charged with the usage/restocking fee.

Please take the following steps:

  • Contact us within 4 days of delivery of an item if it is SIGNIFICANTLY not as described. Since this is a vintage used item, there may be some minor discrepancies which are normal for its age. 
  • Keep all packaging materials to send an item back or take photos of the item if you want to use your own packing.
  • We will follow up on your case within 2 business days upon receipt of your claim.

 

The followings are excluded from FREE RETURN.

1.     You report that an item is not what is described or damaged, so you plan to claim a full refund. 

2.      You buy an item with intention to use it for any projects 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 change 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 described above, we are entitled to deduct some percentage from the purchase price including the shipping cost.  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: No Returns

Due to complicated international import and export rules/regulations, we are unable to accept a return for any reason. Please read our feedback before you make a commitment to buy any product from us.

 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.
