COSMETICS
Minor scuffs and scratches throughout consistent with normal use and the age of the camera. It appears that the previous owner attempted to glue the deteriorating original leatherette back to the body, which left traces of glue on some plastic surfaces. This has no effect on the function of the camera, only the appearance - see the photo of the bottom. We tried to do our best to clean off the glue, and with a brand new genuine black pigskin cover the camera now looks very good. Lettering on the dials is bright. Focusing screen and viewfinder are mostly clean, with just a few tiny specs of dust in the field of view (no effect on photo quality).
