One of the cleanest I have seen in a very long time. NEAR MINT!
Mechanics 9.5/10
-Shutter speeds are accurate
-All camera functions are working normally
Optics 9.5/10
-Viewfinder/rangefinder is bright and clean
-No fog/haze, fungus, separation or scratches
These are getting very hard to find. RARE late NO GUARD.
I had one similar back in May 2022 that I sold quickly for well over $3500
The last one before that was in 2020 so these dont come up that often
Nice to have working well and a great deal considering.
