There is also dust, scratches, and mold on the lens that could not be removed. It has been serviced to the extent that it does not affect normal shooting, except in backlit situations. The meter is working, but please consider it as a reference value when determining exposure. If you are concerned, please use a separate light meter. Shutter operation has been confirmed, including X-sync. The slow speeds are slightly slow, but there are no problems with operation at room temperature. The light seals have been replaced, including the interior. There are no problems such as "light leaks." Actual shooting has been confirmed. "Notes" * Due to the use of LR44 replacement batteries, the operating voltage is high, so please make a + correction in the ISO film sensitivity setting (about 1 stop). * Due to the TTL metering system, press the metering button on the side of the mount while metering. It will automatically turn off when released. * Winding becomes heavier when film is loaded. Please wind carefully. The winding angle is large, 180 degrees, but it is also possible to wind in small increments. * Until the light seals settle in, open and close the back cover carefully with both hands.
