Camera is in good cosmetic condition with minor wear from regular use. The battery compartment cover appears to have been replaced with a piece of cardboard. I tried to shift it out like you would a standard battery compartment cover, but it didn't want to budge so I didn't force the issue. As such, I'm not sure what the inside of the battery compartment looks like.
Shutter is fires at all speeds, but it is quite slow, especially at slower speeds. Aperture blades move freely through all stops and are clear of oil and rust.
The Rangefinder doesn't appear to be working.
Lens is clean and free of scratches, fungus and haze. There are some circular cleaning marks on the lens that shouldn't affect image quality.
