The F stops are; 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16 Th...e focusing ring is in meters with 2 click stops. There is no rangefinder but the light meter works which is exceptional given the age. It didn't react much in medium lit rooms but reacted well by a window The lens is clear inside and outside. The viewfinder is slightly hazy. There is a neat design of a rewind component that pops up when you push down and turning counter-clockwise. The arrow pointing clockwise is for holding it down when finished. Butkus and johanniels are resources I used and deserve attribution since it comes without a manual. Free Shipping applies to domestic addresses.
