We recognise this model across the auction sites and keep every one we see together.

On a used one

Check the electronics and shutter work correctly since these cameras rely on battery power for metering and exposure, and check the foam light seals which perish with age. Confirm the lens mount and aperture coupling are undamaged and that any included lenses are free of fungus or haze.
