*Condition*
-Cosmetics: Very good overall condition with minor paint wear and small edge scuffs from age and use.
-Lens: Clean glass; no fungus or separation observed. Aperture blades move freely.
-Function: The shutter fires, but it fires at the same speed on all settings. This indicates a likely issue with the shutter timing mechanism, which may require professional CLA (clean, lubricate, adjust) service to restore full functionality. We are not experts on film cameras, and these is the main issue we recognized. There may be other faults or malfunctions that are unknown to us. Was NOT tested with film. This unit it selling as-is with no guarantees of function or internal state.
