Originally acquired during our buying trip in Germany in the late 1990s, this camera was once sold by our shop and has now returned to us again. Welcome back!
There is some minor paint loss at the corners, but overall it remains in very good condition. No dents are present, and the plating is also well preserved. For a semi-Ikonta entry-level model, this is a notably clean body.
There is slight coating deterioration on the front element, but otherwise the glass is quite clean, with no noticeable cleaning marks or haze. The coatings on each surface remain well intact. In 2021, the camera underwent maintenance including lens cleaning, helicoid re-greasing, shutter unit disassembly and cleaning, and focus inspection. All functions are operating properly.
