It's a IIIc (small c) later model (guard on film release button). Really clean except for some sparkles in the front element, and a worn thru single spot on the front leather(ette?).
Rangefinder works good, plenty bright for me, it's got the Xenon on it,,, (I think), anyway, when I was doing all the lookie see on the internet, seems it was the standard 50mm f2.0 American lens. Film rollers clean and bright, no wear thru on the film platten, no tarnish/rust or much of anything inside the camera. Focus smooth and easy with no slop. Seems like a shelf Queen except for the wear mark from the everready case front.
Hard everready case in say a 7+ condition, snap still there, a bit tattered and the neck strap is broken. Meter shows movement with light,,, but no worries there, I've got the cute little Sekonic hot shoe mount one from the old days,,, don't remember the number right off hand, but it works fine and agrees with my Luna Pro. (with the last of my mercury cells :-( )
Big problem with me as a person,,, once I get attached to a camera, (gun, rc plane, fishing pole, whatever), I usually start taking care of it, which means it's usually not in the car when I would like to use it. Leaving me with the not to be discussed imaging product that has no soul to to the snapshooting with.
With some of the images and comments on the net, I'm thinking that I really don't want to mouse it up, but get it to user status and just do some shooting with it. Maybe just add a single yellow filter and either ilford or kodak asa 400 and use it as my attempt at the one lens, one film one developer one year gig. I know I'll stray,,, (I'm old, and I know Me), but it a good thought,,, right? Something like Tmax400 and Xtol?
