In good condition for age as on photos. Taking lens clean without scratches, but has some inconspicuous haze/fungus, altrough it shows nice image (as on last photo). The focus ring moves smooth, aperture adjusting ring moves, but blades aren't moving. Viewfinder glass looks completely clean, mirror is clean, but there are some discoloration on the edge. The light meter indicator of TTL Prism moves when turned on, but not sure about correct working. Shutter seems to work properly, tested on 1 and 125 speeds, but since it has a film inside, I didn't test all speeds. The film transport mechanism works, film counter seems to work. Self-timer works properly. The body of the camera has nice overall condition. The half case is in good condition, it has the screw.
