Uses common AA batteries as a power source! Gorgeous, very clean condition, with a fast normal prime and a telephoto zoom lens.

    FUNCTION
    Shutter, meter, film transport, timer all work properly. Brand new seals and mirror guard installed for years of trouble-free operation NOTE: Small notch on the film door that pushes frame counter lever has worn a bit and a small piece of electrical tape was installed over it to help engage the frame counter - please see photos. This is purely cosmetic and barely noticeable.
