Description from the seller
A classic Olympus Six folding medium format camera from the 1950s, equipped with the bright Olympus Zuiko FC 7.5cm f/2.8 lens and S.Copal shutter. This elegant Japanese folding camera represents the golden age of postwar medium format photography and remains highly collectible among vintage camera enthusiasts.
The camera has been tested for basic mechanical operation, including shutter speeds, bellows movement, and self-timer functionality. The bright f/2.8 Zuiko lens is attractive for collectors and users alike, though the front element shows stain-like marks and the finder contains dust consistent with age. Slight oil seepage is also present internally.
The lot includes the original leather carrying case and a 4.5×6 mask insert for alternate shooting formats. Due to age, the camera is offered as a vintage collectible and photographic item for enthusiasts who understand classic film equipment.

The shutter operates correctly at all speeds up to 1/200 second.

Bellows extension and collapse operate smoothly.

The finder contains visible dust.
The front lens element has stain-like marks that may affect image quality depending on shooting conditions.

Please carefully review all photographs before bidding.
