Likewise the flash is also in working order. Recycle time is about 5 seconds give or take. Please note, as no technical equipment was available all testing such as shutter speeds was by observation and ear only. Therefore complete accuracy is not guaranteed. Film transport and rewind mechanisms appear to be fully functional. Mirror and viewfinder are flawless.
