Review: Very Helpful and Honest Seller - The seller was helpful with both the camera and information. He helped me select the right one for me and even sent pictures of my specific purchase before shipping. I recommend the camera as it is a great starter camera for film and the seller for sending it clean and working as promised.
Review: Great Quality Camera For Its Age - Opened the box and to my pleasant surprise I got a cream colored one. Start testing to see if it worked and had no issues other than the shutter getting stuck once. After breaking it in a little bit, its been running smooth ever since. I will note some cosmetic damage, mainly peeling of the leather (or whatever the material is), but that can simply be tacked back down. Also needed some cleaning with some isopropyl alc and a qtip. Good condition considering its older than my great grandmother (god rest her soul)
