    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.
    Semi-Leotax
    Hello, and thanks for looking. Here we have an early Showa Kogaku Semi-Leotax folding camera for 6x4.5cm exposures on 120 film. Serial #6761. Black enamel trim and film counter housing shows some paint loss. Rear leather is complete but off camera and needs to be re-glued. Rieze Anastigmat lens (a little cloudy but not bad) in a New Torio shutter (seems to fire at about two speeds; something around 1/100 for the faster speeds and something around 1/25 for all other settings). Some TLC and this somewhat uncommon item will be a very presentable camera.
