Only if you can get a good view of the mirror first. As old as it is (I was shooting with my older brother's Pellix back in '71), it's going to likely have a lot of dried up lubricant, and possible dry rot of the shutter, not to mention the seals. But if you just want a really nice looking unit for display, then NOS is the way to go.

If the price is decent, Kalle, it could be worth it for the FL 50/1.4 they normally came with.

Sometimes, GAS gets the better of all of us!
