F5 consideration

CAMEDIA · 5th July 2004

Hi,

Goodday

Like to seek some advice from the veterns. When buying a 2nd-hand F5, is there any important accessories (which comes with the original package) that I muz take note of?

Appreciate any kind advice. Thanks

u might want 2 take note of its shutter count. and the data back of the camera, there might be some wears on the bottom LCD panel. Check the focusing screens and the shutter on the defects on the rubber peelings..

and the camera corners for body scratches and rings... the rings is also imporatant.. u will nv know how the previous owner handles the camera...
