This Camera overall is in average condition. as you can see this has age related marks all around but this simply doesnt affect the camera performance. Most of the features in this camera works as it should. Lever pulls nicely at all speed, film winder is good as well as film counter. Self timer work too. Apperture is nice and good. Light meter seems to be reponsive. Lens itself has also age related marks and you can see the fog on the lens which may or may not affect the picture quality. Due to the issue mentioned, this item being sold as Is. New light seal installed as well. Please mindful when buying this item.
