Focusing: Manual
Light Meter: Battery Powered
Battery: LR44
Flash: Hot Shoe
Year: 1984 - Onwards

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 ring is smooth and accurate.
· Film transport arm is smooth and solid.
· Aperture blades move freely.
· Flash hot shoe works as expected.
· Light meter reacts to light well and tends to expose well for the shadows.
The less good:
· 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)
· The battery door is missing it’s clasp, in practice this is not much of an issue, as the spring tension holds it in place effectively.
· General wear and tear.
