I lost an ebay sale of my almost brand new 35-70 3.6 to a list member, when
he recieved it he insisted in inspecting the inside by shining a Tensor lamp
into it, and there was an odd reflection of the bulb, which he interpreted
as a fault.
Of course, the later post to the list about his new purchase of an E system
and lenses may inform.
