Condition report:
The collection is in varied cosmetic condition. The modern SLR bodies generally appear in good condition with minor surface scuffing, although the Canon EOS 1000F N shows significant dust and sticky degradation to the rubberised grip. The vintage Zenit-E exhibits minor oxidisation consistent with its age. All lenses show standard levels of surface dust; internal optics have not been inspected for fungus or haze. All electronics, shutters, and light meters are untested, and the lot is sold as seen for parts or restoration.
