Let's just slip in the mercury battery corrosion in the the middle somewhere

To be fair, oftentimes the battery corrosion can be easily removed by applying some vinegar with a Q-tip.

Even if it's easily removable, I've never bought a Minolta SRT that had a working meter (that corrodes too). I have Minolta XG series cameras, only one works. My Hi-Matic 7s did have a working meter. Same goes for Konica Auto Reflex Ts (there's one of those just around the corner from me for $55. Guy says it works great, who knows if he even put a battery in it.)

So $200 for a camera that will most likely need to be repaired...

They forgot to paint the shutter blinds and the front element.

In whose universe is that nicely painted !!!!!!!

$16 with two days left. I bet it still goes for $70-80 after the snipe in the last .001 seconds.

Won't the 'camouflage' protect it against the sniper ?

I was looking at the used prices of K-m's to see if it was worth selling mine and this came up :

"Collector's" item obviously - have no idea what it would be worth!

And, what's the Pentacon ad doing there as the very last of the set of product images???

It says it’s a Photokina 2008 exhibition camera. (Not a look to my tastes but each to their own.)

Looks like someone just bejeweled their camera and said that's it's Swarovski.

Was checking out prices on a Q-S1 and was surprised to see one for slightly more than a KP with 18-50!

I believe I saw that a while ago. Great work, although not my style

I saw someone selling a Theta S for $555 on eBay. I'll have to go back and find the listing to post a picture.
