George (and other Deutsch-challenged list members), following is an
approximate translation of his ad text into U.S. English:
The glass is like-new condition.
Comes with front and back caps.
Comes with original packing.
Due to my experience with Olympus product customers I must state
I cannot answer any of the following:
Did Mr. or Mrs. Maitaini perform final inspection
Or was it only by one of their employees?
Was the brass used in the helical (?? lit: snail) delivered to the
Shigemitsu factory before December 1, 1982?
Was the Lanthan glass used hand made and allowed
to cool for at least six months, and if not, why wasn't it?
Also, I do not have a gas-chromatograph/mass-spectrometer
to undertake an investigation of whether the hand weldments
by final assembler Kenichi Ogamura are on the order of nano-
or picograms, and its edge resolution with the lens wide open
is noticeable in a 9-cent [pfennig] Rossmann Drugstore print.
[Frieder, I think I got the gist of it.]
And that's why I was ROFL.
