A fine camera, rare and beautiful
My father told me stories of using this camera and the exceptional optical quality of the lens.
This is a particularly nice example considering the condition.
Most were used by professionals and heavily used.
Also, to find one with the meter version, with the case and cap is very very nice.
A rarity, pleasure to have and use.
Very very nice!
