Very nice example of this camera in EX+ condition. Everything works as it should and for $56.00 US it was a good deal. Laughing

I love the viewfinder and split image focusing. Heavy little sucker though!! Laughing

Wow, that really looks great. Now to see some pictures from it.

I almost bid on one a couple of weeks ago or so. Looked just like it.

You have an amazing collection of camera literature there my friend. I have a Miranda Automex II on the way. They were really expensive back then, weren't they?

If you want one get it now. The price is not going down and the supply is dwindling as we speak! I'll shoot some film through it as soon as the sun decides to show up. Raining and snowing right now.

I believe you are correct. But the Zoomars are too high to consider.
