The good:

·         For a 60-year-old camera, it is in remarkably good condition.

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

·         Focus ring is smooth and accurate.

·         Comes with original case

The less good:

·         The viewfinder has some dust at the edges of the frame. This does not affect image quality, nor usability.

·         General wear and tear.
