PENTAX SMC AF ZOOM 35-70MM F2.8 AUTO FOCUS LENS.WITH FRONT AND REAR
CAPS,FUNGUS IN LENS AND NOT WORKING WHEN TESTED, WITH CASE. DONT MISS
THIS ONE!
At least it's truth in advertising...
I think they left out a semi-colon: "DONT; MISS THIS ONE!"
Reminds me of some eBoy purchases I've made lately:
"Won't last long at this price!" It didn't.
"You'd be a fool to pass this by!" Apparently, I was also a fool NOT to
pass it by. Hey nobody said the obverse was the reverse...
My latest 'mint minus' purchase was described as having 'minor cleaning
marks, absolutely won't affect your photographs' and it looks like
someone took a screwdriver to it. It hardly passes light, let alone
being able to focus accurately. But it absolutely will NOT affect my
photographs, because it absolutely went right into the parts box.
Seller's point well-taken.
Best,
Wiggy
