D EVERYTHING OK, SERVICED BUT NO GUARANTEE

E EVERYTHING OK, MAJOR FUNCTIONS TESTED

F EVERYTHING OK BUT NOT RECENTLY SERVICED OR TESTED, ACCURACY OF SHUTTER OR METER NOT GUARANTEED

G FULLY FUNCTIONING, SHUTTER OR METER PROBABLY NEED ADJUSTING

H USEABLE BUT NOT FULLY, SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS MAY STICK OR METER MAY NOT WORK

J NOT USEABLE WITHOUT REPAIR

K PROBABLY SCRAP ONLY SO AN AVERAGE CONDITION CAMERA IS GRADED 5F

A CAMERA WE GRADE AT 5F WOULD, IN OUR OPINION, BE A VERY GOOD, CLEAN AVERAGE CONDITION EXAMPLE, WHILST 4F WOULD BE DISTINCTLY ABOVE AVERAGE AND THEREFORE IDEAL FOR A COLLECTION AND 6F IS STILL GOOD BUT SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAR.
