[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Geoff, as I am not a regular seller -- or buyer for that matter -- I would appreciate any clariification you may be willing to offer, about how folks here rate condition. For instance, I have a pre-ASPH 50/1:1.4 Summilux which I bought new. It was mounted exactly once on my M6 in order to shoot a test roll, and then never used again. (The subject for which the thing was purchased, died unexpectedly!) Would that be called, "new," or "mint," or something else -- ? Thanking you -- and all LUGgers -- for your kind help -- A U S T I N , Austin Burbridge, On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 3:47 PM, Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> wrote: > Those are the 'rules' Austin!
