This camera is a real gem! It's so well made it feels like jewellery!
It works in all settings - focusing, shutter speeds, aperture, winding.
The lens is a super sharp Trioplan which is neither fogged or scratched.
There's no damage to the lens or scratches or damage to the body. Small signs of ageing metal and leather is evident since the camera is 70 years old.
You get: A neat camera; original half-case with strap.

A note on the condition of the product: I clean lenses and viewfinders as much as possible, but they are not disassembled to be cleaned. There is almost always dust inside viewfinders, but it is very rarely a problem. Light meters are always tested, but not for perfect accuracy. There is always a comment on the condition of the light meter if there is a problem. If you use a battery of a higher voltage than intended light meters will show different results. I replace all light seals on the cameras I sell. ALL old light seals are a potential source of dust and smear inside the camera when older than 30 years. On some models light might seep onto the film if the sale seals are old and shrunken. The camera you buy is ready to use the instant you load it with a roll of film.

Shipping cost is often miscalculated by Etsy when orders of two or more products are placed. Contact me for proper shipping cost estimates. Shipping time overseas from Europe is in most cases 10-15 work days.

A note on batteries: Most vintage cameras are sold without batteries. Often batteries are a hassle to get hold of. getOurBooks supplies you purchase with the correct battery.
