2 = Partly not 100% functional
Condition optical elements:
1 = 100% unscratched lens elements, no cleaning marks, no fungus, no fog, little or no dust 2 = Not 100%, but absolutely NO effect on optical performance! 3 = The following problems
Cosmetical condition:
NN = New item according to strict german law
N = Still brand new and unused !!, but because of, for example, its age it cannot be declared as new item according to strict german law
AAA = Absolutely like new condition, no kind of marks of former use, no visible difference to brand new item

A = Nearest mint, only fewest and faintest marks of prior use findable
AAB = Lightest marks of use
AB = Only light marks of use
BBA = All around the barrel/body already light marks of use
BB = Light to normal marks of use
BC = Normal marks of use
C = Already normal marks of use all around body/barrel
D = Defective/heavy damages, as is for parts
A1 = SPECIAL CATEGORY only for items before ca. 1940 = Phantastic condition,much much better than usual for this item and age
B1 = SPECIAL CATEGORY only for items before ca. 1940 = Better than usual and better than according to age
C1 = SPECIAL CATEGORY only for items before ca. 1940 = Normal marks of use according to age

A = Top condition, few faintest marks
AB = light marks of use
B = normal marks of use, but still nice
C = Heavy marks of use, dent on filter mount or similar
Functionality
1 = 100% working correctly
Condition of glass
1 = perfect glass
2 = Small faults without effect on optical performance, for instance very small scratch, small rim separation or similar
3 = Heavy faults, glass should to be exchanged
