I decided to return the "smoky" N90s. I did enough to try to de-smoke-ify it, and did not want to take the chance of having a problem. The KEH rep. said that they do not factor in "smell" as part of their evaluation and grading. I replied that they should, as smoke can be damaging to electronics...and some people are allergic to smoke.

You did two things right:
  1. Bought it at KEH
  2. Returned it
They will have another for you.

I believe Brassai use to time his night exposures by the time it took him to smoke a particular cigarette. - "a Gauloise for a certain light, a Boyard if it was darker".

Good thing his cameras were mechanical then :D (weren't they?)
