Grading Scale

Welcome to Our Grading Scale for our 35mm Point-and-Shoot Film Cameras!

At The 35mm Club, we're committed to providing you with the highest quality 35mm point-and-shoot film cameras to enhance your film photography experience. To ensure transparency and help you make informed choices, we've implemented a comprehensive grading scale that assesses the condition of each camera we offer.

This grading system ranges from "Like New" to "Non-Functional" and is designed to provide you with a clear understanding of the camera's state before making a purchase. We aim to empower you with the information you need to select a camera that matches your preferences and requirements.

Each grading scale score for each film camera will be located in the drop-down tab, labelled 'Condition', along with any imperfections stated.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our grading scale, and please don't hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable team if you have any questions or need further details about a specific camera. We're here to help you find the perfect film camera to capture your photographic visions.

Grading Scale:

Grade 10 - Like New: Cameras in this condition are as close to brand new as possible. They exhibit no signs of major wear, scratches, or damage. All functions work perfectly, and the lens is free from any defects.

Grade 9 - Excellent: Cameras in this condition are in excellent condition and show minimal signs of use. They may have minor surface scuffs or tiny scratches but no significant damage.

Grade 8 - Very Good: Cameras in this condition are in very good condition. They may have surface wear, minor scuffs, or a few small scratches.

Grade 7 - Good: Cameras in this condition are in good condition but show noticeable signs of use. They may have several surface scratches or wear marks. All functions are operational. The lens may have minor lens imperfections. 

Grade 6 - Fair: Cameras in this condition are in fair condition that have seen moderate use and may exhibit more noticeable wear and cosmetic imperfections. While they still function well, there may be minor issues that don't significantly impact performance, such as lens imperfections or cosmetic blemishes.

Grade 5 - Okay: Cameras in this condition are in okay condition that have seen significant use and may have more substantial wear and cosmetic flaws. They are still in working order, but the lens may have noticeable wear or more significant cosmetic damage.

Grade 4 - Poor: Cameras in this condition are in poor condition and may have functional issues, including problems with the shutter, flash, or other essential components. The lens may have significant defects, and the camera is likely to exhibit heavy wear.
