Condition (voorbeeldtekst aanpasbaar)

Used Good condition
Both the camera and lens are in good working order. Shutter speeds fire accurately across the range, and the light meter responds to light (battery required). The lens is optically clean with no haze or fungus, and the focus ring turns smoothly. Aperture clicks firmly and blades are free of oil. Cosmetically, the set shows light wear consistent with age, but overall very well maintained.
