The good:
• For a 60-year-old camera, it is in pretty good condition.
• Shutter fires well, and tested exposures reveal no timing issues.
• Focus ring is smooth and accurate.
• Film transport arm is smooth and solid, but the 1.5 throws takes some getting used to.
• Light meter reacts to light but tends to offer over exposed settings.
The less good:
• The viewfinder has some debris at the edges of the frame. This does not affect image quality, nor usability.
• The lens itself has a few specs of dust, but nothing that is noticeable in the final images (see attached sample photos)
• General wear and tear.
