The good:

·         For a 40-year-old camera, it is in remarkably good condition.

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

·         Focus is accurate.

·         Film transport is smooth.

·         Flash works as expected.

·         Comes with a case.

The less good:

·         The lens cover is only partially functional. When the camera is switched off, only one of the blades moves and it does not cover the lens fully. Please see the images.

·         The viewfinder has some minor dust ingress. This does not affect image quality, nor usability.

·         The lens itself has a few specs of dust, but nothing that is noticeable in the final images (see attached sample photos)

·         General wear and tear.
