No idea what "triple mint" means. Does it work?

That is, I'm asking: Do the film advance, shutter, meter and aperture contols work well enough to produce reasonably exposed photos without any significant light leaks?

I have one already. Probably the most user friendly camera ever made. Averaging meter nails 99% of every shot. These will take alkaline batteries AOK.

Totally manual like a Leica, no batteries required to take a picture!!

I'm very confused. The camera in the pictures is not 'mint.' It is dented, scratched and has various tape residue. Usually graded EX+ assuming the shutter and meter have been tested.

Did you upload the wrong pictures?

The word "mint," as an adjective, was originally used by coin collectors to describe a coin that is in the same condition as it was when minted. In other words, the same condition as new.

With a coin, what you see is what you get -- there is only cosmetic condition. I have seen some eBay sellers describe a camera as "mint" based only on its cosmetic condition, but the description indicates the camera is non-functional. Definitely not in new condition. I know a lot sellers use "mint" to describe their cameras, but really, I think the word is too ambiguous for our purposes, unless the camera really is in the same condition as it was when it left the factory.
