"Very good" condition overall: seems to function properly (tested with a lens but without film; GX680's are all around unusual; please read instructions online and be patient to run it well), but has had extensive professional use-but-not-abuse. Fundamentally as mechanically solid as ever. Runs consistently (not "smoothly" as the big mirror slaps hard; use a tripod and lockup for best results.) Finish shows substantial wear on corners and edges and some all around, but paint is overall sound and fairly bright, except that much is worn off of bottom where the camera mounts to a tripod. Leather shows moderate wear and minor edge separation, not tearing or wearing off of surface. Some knobs' rubber slips if not held tight. No cracks, gouges, or brittling to main structure; WLF has a little slop in opening which may reflect much wear. Bellows supple and overall nice. Dark-slide a little wavy; works fine. No front cap; get one if a lens won't always be mounted.
The most unwieldy SLRs or the most convenient, theoretically hand-holdable, view cameras available: adjustable front standard provides movements with all lenses! High quality modern-style construction with plastic over a solid, seemingly relatively light alloy metal body. Unlike most SLRs for the larger medium formats, this one has an "instant" return mirror due to the motor drive.
Nice "modern" plastic-over-sturdy-alloy professional build quality, like a pro Canon or Nikon, but not quite as tough due to the larger size and greater range of adjustments. Includes many clever features such as film-edge date and exposure printing with the IIIN back (which I haven't tested), although not as refined as current electronics: some configuration details are not very intuitive and the optional LCD backlighting makes some noise like a flash recharging when it is on.
Includes "extended wide angle" bellows (only), whose loose pleats easily allow big movements. Works great with moderately long focal lengths too.
Requires CR123A lithium batteries for the body and CR2 lithium batteries for the back. If postal rules allow me to send them with your location and shipping method (in my sole discretion), I will include a new-ish set. These tend to be much cheaper online.
The waist-level finder's magnifier is not adjustable. You may be able to find a screw-in diopter, but they are scarce at best. The optional angle (prism-style) finder, which is not included but tends to be inexpensive, incorporates an adjustable diopter eyepiece.
As with these cameras generally, mirror lockup (which practically needs a tripod) to avoid slap reportedly gives sharpest results; also, you'll probably need a tripod to hold the camera still as you adjust tilt if you want to use that. Some report these aren't quite the sharpest medium format lenses available for modern digital backs, but movements, when needed to achieve proper focus and composition, must be much more important than theoretical resolution differences among top professional makes.
