Jason’s workshops notes:

This camera is in excellent condition for a Black Edition camera that is 54 years old and is very rare, making it a privilege to work on. As an early model, it holds significant value. During the servicing, the lens required tightening, which necessitated the removal of the original black cover. Initially, I planned to replace it with another original black cover, but the red leather looked so striking that I decided to go in that direction instead. The result is a stunning and unique look that sets this camera apart from the rest.
