    Description

    Return Policy: eBay has recently instituted a minimum return policy of 30 Days (to be considered a "Top Seller") which for used and very often vintage equipment is, in my opinion, too long. And all I sell is used and vintage equipment. I've checked the "No Returns Accepted" box for every item I am offering for sale but that doesn't mean I won't stand behind what I'm selling.
    Unless otherwise stated every item will come with a 7 day return privilege from the day you receive it. This is something that I did way back when,
    well before
    eBay got around to instituting a return policy. And if I've made a mistake (I do on rare occasions) and it is not as described I will also pay for the return shipping. The buyer shouldn't have to pay for my mistakes. However, if you've purchased an item in error (e.g. an FD Canon manual focus lens to use on your EF mount autofocus digital body) or had a change of heart and no longer want the item within the first 7 Days then you're going to pay the return shipping as I shouldn't have to pay for your mistakes or post-purchase decisions. That seems fair to me.
    I will also offer warranties of 30 Days or more on certain items. Expect to see that with more user oriented items than with collector oriented items.
    Ikoflex I
    Hello, and thanks for looking. Here we have a Zeiss Ikon Ikoflex I with 75mm F3.5 Novar lens. Nice condition overall especially considering its age. Case included as shown but note the bottom front hinge has split the whole way and there’s loose stitching along the top sides. I’ll start by mentioning the Novar is hazy and needs to be cleaned. A deep enough spanner wrench should provide you access from the rear. Some of the leather is lifting slightly. Chrome and metal parts look very good. Focusing knob has a patina. Advance knob does too but not as much. Shutter works at all speeds. A bit slow at one second but that’s pretty damned good if you ask me. Diaphragm turns freely. Ground glass is a bit dusty but good. Novar looks fine other than the aforementioned haze. Though it isn’t perfect I’d say it’s a pretty nice example of an 80 year old camera, better than most you see, and I’m sure somebody will be very pleased with it.
