9530765HiddenSeller described the body as:

"I have tested the camera recently and it is mostly in full working order. The only exception is the flash triggering via the hotshoe and X socket is intermittent. The shutter works perfectly at all speeds and the camera stops down the lens aperture correctly (no lens is included with this auction). The light meter works correctly and is accurate compared with my digital camera.

Cosmetically the camera is in excellent overall condition with only a few light marks from use. The mirror and viewfinder are clean and clear. The film chamber is clean but on the focusing screen, there is a feint mark in the lower left area and a scratch in the upper right area (see photo). The interior of the film chamber is very clean and the film pressure plate is free from scratches."

All the important bits work though!

9526278HiddenNo problems with the camera, ever. The first 50/1.7 that came with the body fell apart in my hands about 10 years ago. Just sent the camera to Eric Hendrickson for service, so expect to get another 40 years out of it (well, probably not me, but hopefully one of my grandchildren will take it over at some point).Southern California
