35mm Rangefinder Camera

A compact metal rangefinder from the 1960s with a fixed 40mm lens, about the size of a sandwich and twice as reassuring to hold. I have shot four rolls through it this year and the negatives came back sharp and evenly exposed. The shutter fires at every speed, the aperture blades are clean and dry, and the focusing patch in the viewfinder is bright and lines up at infinity.

The built-in light meter no longer reacts, so you will need a phone app or a handheld meter, or simply shoot sunny sixteen. There is light brassing on the top plate corners and the leatherette is complete. Comes with a lens cap and a worn leather half case. No film included.
