I have not usedthis camera, but I have known its ownership since new. It appears to be in excellent condition. Cosmetically, theonly blemish I can find is a chip in the lens barrel at the 0.8 mark and smallareas of blistering in the paintwork around the front shutter release.The rubber eye cup has lost its zing. The motor runs strongly and smoothly. Theautomatic fader works as it should. The lens looks bright and clear, but Iimagine the battery needed for its automatic operation is no longer available. Themanual control opens and closes the diaphragm OK. Please examine the photos asthey are part of the description.
