Camera Talk

Last time I was home, one of my brothers gave me this camera he found at a flea market. It needs a rangefinder adjustment, and could use a shutter cleaning, but everything else works fine. It's very solidly built, with some interesting features.

Make sure to click the Flickr link at the bottom to see all the photos from the test shoot, and a comprehensive tour of the camera.

Cool camera and some nice photos. (My brother buys me t-shirts... )

That is a really handsome camera, Phil. The 'quirks,' as you describe them, seem to be positive ones. Nice set of photos, too.
