The good:

·         For a 40-year-old camera, it is in remarkably good condition.

·         Shutter fires well, and tested exposures reveal no timing issues.

·         Focus is accurate.

·         Film transport is smooth.

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)

·         Flash doesn’t appear to work.

·         General wear and tear.
