Not being an expert on much, I can't say for certain this is a IIF but it matches what I have read about them. It was not sold as an export camera at the Post Exchange, since it is missing the red EF in the diamond.
Its a user grade for sure, nothing here for those that prefer to display cameras and salivate over the perfection on minty goods.
I bought this a while back and spent a great deal of time installing new shutter curtains. I ran a test roll through it and it worked well at fast and slow speeds with correct exposures!
But,
Its just no my cup of tea. I am not good at loading the film as it is a bottom loader, the viewfinder is too hard on my glasses, and I am just used to SLRs.
Details:
$165 including USA shipping would suit me fine. Shipping overseas would most likely be higher, but I will do it if its worth it to you.
If you are interested, send PM! (opinions are welcome too - HA!) :munch:

Details:
- New shutter curtains made from proper single sided rubberized silk, ordered from Japan.
- Numbers are scratched into the base plate.
- The screw on the back center of top plate (just behind and under the cold shoe) is most probably not the original, as it is square faced instead of oval head, but fits well. There is also a missing screw under the slow speed adjustment, but this is how it was when I acquired it, so I put it back that way.
- The leather case is worn, especially the top, basically it is only good for shelf use as it is badly torn.
- Everything works as it should, & it takes pictures!
- Shutter speeds might need adjusting, but I am not going to fiddle with it as it gave proper exposures form my light meter's suggestions.
- Includes the film spool
