Focusing screen and viewfinder are dust free and bright, just a couple of faint lines at the bottom from previous cleaning (no effect on photo quality). Minor corrosion inside battery cap (no effect on function). Original leatherette professionally replaced with genuine leather embossed in Red Snakeskin pattern.
