This is my 'toy' when my uncle has given me as he has been using new stuff for years. I hereby to state that, some of my people are still doing some photography equipment business,although they no longer do any with SLR LENS.

I receive this, I have to check the functions and lens given. Lens are covered with fungi. May affect some effects but the detail is okay.

I used to believe that camera is not fully-functional. In my hello posted, I have mentioned I have not restored all. Using normal way (ASA 200 or ASA 400) to deal with ASA 100, this is a very bad idea since I may have pampered by the Automated DX coding.

DX coding is a not really a new thing,may be the third generation of films (1st is B&W,2nd is COLOR,3rd is the auto-configurations), You will never forget the wrong ASA setting if you are using automated after 1980s,For example, Nikon F55,Nikon F3-F6, Pentex K mounted (after 1980s) and some simple cameras battery powered (with 4 metal dots,professional contains 5)is the sample

To deal with the problem , I used to follow the manual on the web, Opening the box, Taking two old batteries out (LR44?), then replace and test, It works. Now, In daylight, with good lens, I may be able to get rid of any automated as I am able to do what the usually do.

For new made, If you are using non-alkaline batteries, the circuit is too easy to get damaged when you have forgotten to remove the cells after use.

Here, I like to discuss with some lens, Fujinon lens in fixed-focus length may be very tricky, You will need to press the TTL button to activate the f/4 or higher(This is not out of order, It is because of the structure,I have discovered when I try to clean a little internally,Since I have no knife and only some tissues(For cosmetic),there is no any marks on the lens.), others may not need this,especially in 80-200mm , If you have found the spring in the lens, then the reaction speed will be very quick,even the 1/2000s is able to achieve. For this reason, I will need to find the tamron lens for the next, I know there is one.

I really like the 605 / 605n - I've got something posted here on these, I believe. I gave away the 605, and found a truly ratty 605n to replace it. With glasses I have some trouble seeing the meter all the way to the side, especially in dusk. But otherwise the camera is a treat and I love the squeeze stop-down/meter switch. I take this camera out in bad weather - rain, snow, sleet, it works and if it gets ruined, a new one's very cheap! The 55/2.2 lens is not bad either, I rather like it. I haven't had any trouble mounting any M42's, including Adaptalls, on this camera.

I look forward to seeing your pictures with this camera.

A 605n was my first camera when I was a teenager, bought new from a local store from my father as a gift. I absolutely love it, it's one of the best SLR bodies ever made: nearly indestructible, small, light, with a large viewfinder and a precise meter with two separate light sensors.

I am now at the 4th or 5th incarnation of this camera, whenever I lose or give away one I acquire another soon after. I don't use it much anymore, but if I had to keep only one camera, this would be it. Together with the Flek 35/2.4 probably.
