Leica telyt 200 for Visoflex: " scratches" on rear lens...

[Laurent]

Hello all,

I just had a bad experience, as I tried to sell my Telyt which for me is in perfect condition.

The buyer showed me a lot of scratches on the rear lens' coating, which I find very strange since this lens is deeply seated in the Telyt.
She also told me that ALL lenses she tried to buy had the same issue... Since she also tells me she a photography student on a tight budget, and in the same time she absolutely wants a Tely + visoflex for some project, and in the same time wants top notch performance, I'm a bit wary of what she says. (She did not take well my suggestion of buying a Japanese 200mm in any brand + a camera for much less than what she had to pay for a Visoflex + a Telyt )

So I'm a bit puzzled, don't know what to do next (I accepted the return but how do I sell this lens?)

I did not use the lens extensively, which is why I want to sell it, but I never had any issue with it.

any feedback on what could cause these scratches, and if it is a widely spread issue for Telyts would be greatly appreciated!

Just be sure that the serial number on the returned Telyt is the same as the one you sold!

Yes, this is a must.
