Every camera we sell is vigorously inspected by our team. Our ten-part inspection method includes the following checks:
- Lens - we check for any mould, dust, haze, dirt, cracks and air bubbles. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining are noted.
- 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.
- Viewfinder – we inspect for mould, dust and haze or damage. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining is noted.
- Battery terminals - we inspect for rust/corrosion, cleaning and repairing where needed.
- Body – where possible we clean any imperfections. Any remaining cosmetic damage is noted.
- Additional Features – all additional model specific features (such as timelapse or crossfade) are checked for functionality.
