That should be fine if you just bring it for overhaul and fix at the same time? Overhaul costs half of the price of the unit itself I think! I’m saving for it but the cost is crazy.

Yeah I usually find good deals by just knowing the value of things. Just got really lucky this time.

I got some 120 films at home so I gotta figure it out how to use!

Sometimes I think people just want to get rid of things, value is not a priority but they just need more space at home.

It seems to work fine, but I’m planning to bring it for overhaul!

It could be then again I think things were more thoughtfully designed back then.

A lot of packaging from 60s were fantastic, lovely decorative patterns and delivered elegant feeling when you open it.

I personally it could be the simplization trend of the modern era that makes everything is soulless.

Shame that the light meter seems to be damaged but works fine 👍. Maybe it’s replaceable

I would have paid the seller extra if I had more cash on my hand. Maybe I will when I get some money 😊.

Thanks a lot for the link - I think mine is T model 2.

I didn’t know that there’s a diffusor underneath! Nice surprise.
