Item History & Price

| Custom Bundle: No | Modified Item: No |
| Color: Grey | Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |

Rare Japan-market version with grey leatherette, original lens cap and ever-ready leather case, in non-working condition. The focusing ring is frozen and the light meter doesn't seem to react to light. The Seikosha MXL shutter works at all speeds but hangs from time to time.
Otherwise, it's a really beautiful little camera with a bright viewfinder and a fast lens. The lens is clean and clear, with a fully-functional five-bladed diaphragm. The chrome finish is in quite good cond...ition, with slight pitting (see pictures). Clean and clear viewfinder, very visible brightline and rangefinder patch. Even the frame counter works!
For someone with more mechanical aptitude than me this might be an easy fix, or simply in need of a CLA. But I'm all thumbs. So selling as-is because of the aforementioned issues.
