I might think if you have some nice plans to use film and try things out... yes.
If you have a bunch of Super-Takumars to try out... yes.
Looking to make this film camera a cheap, but effective back-up body... yes.
For the love of film... YES!
H3v is an old one. I will likely have accumulated dirty inside or grime as well as have shutter hang and mirror hang issues.
Some due to the dreaded foam decay, however, some due to just tried out lubes in the roller, slider, high friction points.
Worse case is from getting caught out in the rain a few times... I have three examples picked up from ebay that show those signs.
