【Remarks】
・ Although the work is thoroughly inspected and the operation is checked, it is done visually, so oversights and subjective opinions may be included. Please understand that this is a used item from an old era and purchase accordingly.

・ Objections regarding subjective aspects (weight, lightness, click feel, smell, etc.) are not accepted.

・ If there is a significant initial operational defect due to our oversight, we will respond immediately.
* If you contact us within 3 days of receiving the product, we will bear the full return shipping cost.
We ask that the buyer bear the shipping costs if it exceeds 3 days.

・ Optical inspection after lens cleaning is performed under ceiling lighting.
Even if not stated in the product condition section, there may be very minor marks that do not affect the photos.
This is especially true when checked with strong light such as LEDs or depending on how the light hits it.
