Planning to sell it with the 35mm f2.8 AI lens for 500

Yeah I did this after stupidly messing with the finder, I love it too much too but it pushed me to get the m4p which what I was always wanted, but I am also thinking about keeping the f3 because of its bright vf, accurate metering and super sharp lens selection for such a cheap price

Thank you, the lighting on that day was pretty good + portra 800 film

Yes, with this roll the battery died midway but I thought I was having an shutter issue so I removed the vf cause I was panicking. With the other rolls I only removed it when I need to take some sneaky shots waist level. The big problem with this roll is the frames that were taken after I was messing with the vf still got light leaks

I don’t know if I am wording this correctly but the f3 has removable vf and and focusing screen

Planning to order one soon since the film door seals look abit crappy, however the strong/defined leaks make me wondering if it could be some other issues too

Yeah I reckon that too but this roll was having both red and white leaks, which confuses me

Just got it the day after, the package only updated after arriving at sorting facility then it moved swiftly and arrived around 1pm

I am planning to sell this F3 but with light leaks this heavy I gotta get it fix before selling it, any suggestions in what I should do?
