Hello! This is a great rangefinder from the 1950's. The lens is clean and clear. The rangefinder patch is nice and bright. Shutter is working at all speeds.
I recently ran a roll through and almost the whole roll was perfectly exposed. -That said, I would shy away from the fastest speed (1/500th) and the slowest(1s) in any vintage camera.
One small strip of leatherette is missing, but its easily replaceable.
$100 plus shipping in the US. Thanks!

These are extraordinarily well-built cameras, and the lens is an excellent double-gauss Planar-type. Whoever buys it will be pleased, I'm sure (I already have one; it was my grandfather's). GLWS.

This is a very good price for a great camera. I had one and I wish I hadn't sold it. If I had the funds, I'd jump on this now.
