Andy,

I haven't bought any Leica stuff, but I have bought quite a number of large
format accessories - Graphmatic backs and suchlike (and an OM XA - but we
don't want to start that thread again!). I also bought my mega-Leica - a
Fuji GSW 690 II.

All the stuff was pretty much as described. I also E Mailed the seller on
most of them to confirm details. However, it is hard to tell how things will
be when they actually arrive. The Fuji was way better than described by the
seller (who had it from new). It was basically mint, and came at a good
price. I have yet to be disappointed too much.

On some items though, the price can start to rise, so don't let the bidding
carry you away. And it is still caveat emptor - I think there is always
something of a risk in buying off  E Bay.

Tim Atherton,
