- Zoom – we inspect both manual and power zoom work smoothly. Any issues are noted.
- Focus – we check that manual focus is smooth and works well. If automatic focus is included as a feature that is also checked.
- Motor / Claw – we check that the motor runs smoothly at all advertised speeds and that the film claw has sufficient torque to advance film.
- Filmgate – this is inspected and any dirt or hair is removed.
- Lightmeter – the lightmeter is inspected to ensure it automatically reacts correctly to light. Manual aperture control and/or backlight is also checked if included as a feature.
