Seldom available for sale, especially this clean, black GAF L-ES film SLR, restored and finished in red leather. Robust metal-leaf electronic shutter up to 1/2000s, M42 screw mount suitable for Takumars, Chinons, soviet and other manual focus lenses.

 

FUNCTION

Shutter, film transport and timer all work properly. Meter is responsive to light, but accuracy has not been verified with film. Brand new light seals and mirror guard were installed ($25 value).
 

COSMETICS

Very good, no major dents or scratches, just minor brassing. Focusing screen and viewfinder are bright, with a few tiny specs of dust (will not affect shooting in any way). Original leatherette has been replaced with genuine Red pigskin leather - in combination with glossy black body the camera looks outstanding.
