Condition notes

The camera is in excellent functional and cosmetic condition (see photos). It was tested with a battery and film installed and all functions are working correctly. The test film was not developed. We also verified the camera's film plane focus on an autocollimator and its autoexposure accuracy using a calibrated light source and a shutter tester.
