How We Grade Our Cameras

We restore, test, and clean all of our cameras to ensure that despite its age, your Cute Camera works as well as it would have if purchased it in 1976. This means that you’ll be able to capture your soulmate’s smile, your puppy dog’s eyes, or the sunset of your last day at college – straight out of the box. 

VERY GOOD:

A "very good" body will have minimal signs of wear and tear. Examples include slight impurities like  worn leather or metal, signs of age on the bottom plate, and dull marks. 

GOOD:

A “good” body will also look nice but have some additional potential cosmetic wear such as spots with discoloration,  worn down metal or small scratches somewhere on the body.

AVERAGE:

An “average” body will be a more severe case of cosmetic wear like more extreme discoloration or worn down metal, exterior or interior black
specs, deeper scratches, or lines in the eye prism.

Can’t Wait To Develop Some Film

I ok w the tactile feel of these older cameras. This one is in good condition but I do wish that it came with the lens caps. You guys should really include those in the purchase even if they are after market. Probably a great way to market your brand is to provide your own your own branded lens caps. Just a thought. Anyway. Can’t wait to share some photos.

Gift Jackpot!

My boyfriend was ecstatic to receive this camera, and even said he had been perusing Cute Camera Co.’s website for one. It’s in excellent condition (I purchased very good), and he was very happy with the lens it came with, which is good because I know nothing about cameras. Shipping was also fast, and I look forward to getting him more accessories from Cute Camera Co.!
