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.
Zeiss Volta
Hello, and thanks for looking. Here we have an uncommon 6x9cm Zeiss Ikon Folding Plate camera called the Volta (it's the last entry in McKeowns for Zeiss Ikon). Lens is a 10.5cm F4.5 Steinheil Doppel-Anastigmat (a little cloudy as you might expect) in an Ibso shutter (fires at the same speed regardless of setting) with the assembly marked Made in Bavaria. Aside from the aperture scale plate being faded (and some dust and dirt) the camera's in nice shape. There are two holes on the side where a finder of some sort would go (frame finder presumably since there's a mirrored finder on the lens standard. Ground glass and hood are in nice shape. Camera has rise and side shift adjustable by sliding similar to the focus. No geared movements. Neat camera that's not often seen.
