AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


PLEASE READ
Because my cameras and lenses are collectors items to me and I never used them with a film, I mark the cameras as “not tested”.
However, functions such as shutter, rangefinder, light meter, mirror, etc. are checked for operation (not for accuracy) and lenses are judged by eye.
From the description and test results can often be concluded whether the object could function properly, but I cannot give any guarantee on this.
