Jason’s workshops notes:

This camera is in remarkable external condition for its age, with the selenium light meter performing impressively well. Initially, the red flag mechanism was a bit sluggish, but after a careful air dusting and lubrication, it’s now working smoothly. It’s undergone a full strip-down, service, and cleaning, along with a meticulous metal polish. With a new sky-blue leather covering and fresh light seals, this camera has been beautifully revived and is ready for a new life capturing moments once again.
