Reread the text very carefully, and then focus on a technicality. Keep grinding on that and see where it takes you. Slobodan D.

I just re-read the description of the "slight mark" on the lens. The slight mark is a surface gouge that is over 1/8 inch long and is 1/2 inches from the rim - i.e. not close to the edge. And there are additional defects on the lens, particularly that the lens surfaces are full of cleaning marks and there is something loose inside the lens. In fact, it sounds like a lens element is loose. So is that "EX" to you? The auction states "no return". Is there any recourse? ..Vick _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
