Description

The infamous "poo cam." When I got this on ebay, it had feces smeared over the front of it. That's probably how come I got it for only $20.

Well, it's clean and sterile now, and no, there is no smell. It has been gone over very thoroughly with an old toothbrush and several solvents and cleaners, and with both glass and metal polishes. A vinyl protectant has been applied to the leatherette. The shutter has been cleaned, lubed and adjusted and the speeds are dead on. The inside of the viewfinder and rangefinder has been cleaned. At this point, it pretty much looks and works like it did when it was new.

I can't wait to run a roll of film through it. Those Hexanon lenses are said to rival Leicas, although that is probably at least a slight exaggeration.
