Condition Report (State: Good / Working)
The camera has been carefully checked and tested for the main functions:
Mechanism: The camera folds open smoothly and cleanly. Winding the shutter feels firm and mechanically correct.
Shutter & Release: Tested and fully functional. The shutter speeds of the Compur shutter sound good and accurate by ear (OK).
Optics (Lens): The Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar lens shows minimal specks inherent to the age of the lens. This does not affect image quality; the lens still delivers a beautifully sharp image.
Bellows: The leather bellows are in good, light-tight condition (OK) with no cracks or holes.
The lot is packed with utmost care and securely to prevent damage during transport. Shipping is via a reliable courier, including Track & Trace and insurance.
