• Buyers seeking a cosmetically flawless or museum-grade item, due to minor scuffs on the body.
• Individuals who require perfect, pristine optics for highly critical photographic work, as slight fungus and scratches are present in the lens, and slight haze in the viewfinder. While our testing confirmed these do not affect normal shooting, they are noted imperfections.
