Mamiya 7 Lenses: Inspection After Impact Damage

These three Mamiya 7 lenses came into the shop today for checkout (along with a Mamiya 7 body) as my client mentioned that the body had some impact damage and wanted everything inspected. So, here is my procedure for checking out Mamiya 7 lenses when they arrive for inspection. This checks out the rangefinder coupling and the aperture flex cable. Of course, I do also inspect the lenses for focus smoothness and optical imperfections.
The lenses checked out fine and were within specs (as was the body rangefinder)
