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.
If we find out that something is wrong during our final inspection, we will notify you of the fact and may send you a full refund or a replacement with a similar quality if you desire so.

RODUCT CONDITIONS
OPTICS:
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. 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. As a result, previously owned 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.

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.

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.
