Mechanics 9/10
-Shutter speeds are accurate
-All camera functions are working normally
Optics 9/10
-Viewfinder/rangefinder is bright and clean
-No fog, fungus, haze or separation
These are getting very hard to find. RARE late NO GUARD.
I had one similar back in May 2022 that I sold quickly for nearly $3000.
The last one before that was in 2020 so these dont come up that often
Nice to have working well and a great deal considering
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
