New or refurbished FED 5?

[Alphen]

I just bought a RF camera FED 5B from Tangs, then later I found that FEB 5 series camera had no longer in production. Now I'm wondering is the camera I bought a new one or refurbished one. Does anyone knows anything about the camera status selling in shops? Please advise, thanks.

Most likely it's a refurbished one

But I went back to ask, the sales person told me it a new one.

could be old new stock from factory, then they beautify it...
same as those vostok/poljot watches at redarmywatches, the movement some are old stuffs from factory, they put new dial and casing...

does it really matter new or refurbished one?

If I'm not wrong all of Darkroom Army's cameras are the leftover stock from the original factory, so it's all new cameras.

If it is a refurbished one, I could have buy a used one which is so much cheaper.

I hope the camera I bought is one of the leftover stock from the factory, at least can still consider new.

If the camera works perfectly and you can take beautiful pictures with it, that's what matters most. Price only matters when you are talking about thousands of dollars difference between a used one and a new old stock.
