The lens on this 50's rangefinder is sharp but less contrasty than the Retina Xenars of the day. The camera itself may or may not be a reliable one after 50-60 years.

Yes, the lens is good, the camera was built to a price point - lower than the Konica RF's of the time - that may make these a bit temperamental today. Mine is - until I clean it, I hope, the shutter refuses to fire and the camera is locked, though this does not happen often. The cure is to take out the film, reach into the behind-the-lens shutter blades to encourage them to do their thing.
