 PRODUCT FEATURE

This is a 3 Cam mount lens, which fully works on all Leicaflex cameras, R3 to R7 and R8/R9 without Automatic Exposure Control.

This lens will work with all Leica M Range  cameras, film or digital like M10/M240,  most DSLRs 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:  If you plan to use this lens on your DSLR camera, your extra caution is required.  Hold the lens barrel, not FOCUSING RING while you try to attach it to an adapter or to your camera mount, otherwise, the FOCUSING RING 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 ring 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 certify that the focus ring is in working condition in our purchase order 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.

RATING SCALE

OPTICS:

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: 

10/10: No dust or a few visible 

09/10:  Minutes amount visible

08/10: Minimal amount visible

07/10:  Moderate amount visible as expected for age, that will not affect any image quality.

06/10:  Normal amount visible as expected for age, that will not affect any image quality.

05/10:  Below average amount visible – may or may not affect image quality

04/10:  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.

RETURN POLICY

Our products are in the category of CAMERAS & PHOTO, and they are included in unique retail standards.

Our Return Policy excludes the followings:

1.         A Buyer falsely claims an item was not as described or changes his/her mind.

Based on frequent claims for focusing ring damage which might have been caused when a buyer has held the focusing ring to attach an adapter to his/her digital camera, we are no longer able to offer a return. It costs us $300.00 to have the focusing ring to be repaired. There is no other reason why a focusing ring is not working other than the mishandling as stated in the beginning of the statement described above.

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.
