Can you solve this?

[Bille]

I was trying to contact someone on ebay.fr who a) does not speak a word of English and b) has no idea of what he is selling (several SLR lenses and a camera, judging from the picture).

When I asked about the details this is what I got:

"Voici le détails des objectifs :
1.6/16-1.5/30-0.35/3-1./10-0.45/10-1.5/30-1.0/10-1.6/30"

Does that make any sense?

post the link to the listing for that so we can see what it is

that camera has fujinon-x mount so lenses are most likely in that mount

I think that he wrote distance numbers off... probably those ones in ft.

You better ask him to write what is written at the front of the lens. He might understand that way.

My French is lousy, here is what my
googlisch suggests that you ask him:

S'il vous plaît: quel est le texte sur l'avant des objectifs?

which, hopefully, will mean something like
Please, what is the text on the front of the lenses?

I can translate English to French just poke me if you need help messaging the guy.


Edit :

You can ask him this :

"Pouvez vous me dire les écritures sur le devant de chacune des lentilles ?"

It mean :

"Can you tell me the writing (text) on the front of each lenses?"
