Condition
Very good visual condition with age-related wear especially to case which is heavily worn including moderate peeling to leather and scattered green corrosion or oxidation to some of the metal; mechanical parts seem to operate smoothly except shutter/curtain seems stuck and unresponsive, hood and bellows seem to seal properly and remarkably the mirrors produce a viewable but internally-dusty image; lens has corroded exterior and some internal grime; camera has not been tested for functionality (see Catalogue Guarantee).
