The good:
• This camera is used
• Cosmetically, this camera shows normal signs of use, with very nice patina
• Bellows are tested light-tight
• Focal plane shutter runs nicely on all speeds
• Spring lock back is tight and works as it should
• Ground glass is clean and bright
• Built in viewing hood is in good condition
The bad:
• Rangefinder patch is very faint, barely visible
• Shutter can be released ONLY with the rear lever release
• This means the shutter release lever on the front side of the body does not fire the shutter
• Could be an easily serviceable condition, we are not interested in repairing - use as is or repair
• Shutter can still easily be operated with the rear (side mounted) lever, all speeds are good
