I'm not about to stomp on Holy Nikon....rather about new old stock. Recently I bought new, never used, boxed Ricoh SLR - to make a gift. In fact, gift is only thing I can figure out of it. For me it's too new, too shiny, and it smells like....new camera. Doesn't work for me!
Aside from aesthetical aspect, I realized this only later, I were lucky that it haven't gummed up from sitting without any use. For so inexpensive gear it wouldn't be problem, though when paying extra for "Wow! it's new!!" factor for camera like this Nikon, considering adding extra for potential CLA to get it running properly screams buyer should love that model a lot. Truly, simply love it.
But that's just me, nevermind 🙂
