This Pentax camera is in near mint condition and the body is free from scratches and blemishes. There is a tiny ding on the left front of the prism cover, but hatdly noticeable. The fact that is was kept in it's original camera bag and hard case all these years also contributed to the great condition.

The shutter is snappy and appears to respond to all speeds, but we can obviously not guarantee accuracy. The lens is crystal clear without dust, haze, scratches or fungus. Apterure and focus movements are buttery smooth. It does however have a small ding on the ringt bottom of the lens, preventing one to screw in a filter. The viewfinder is nice and clear, but the prism has a small crack at the bottom left.

This obviously does not impact on functionality or image quality at all. The light meter is in pretty good nick, but we could not test it since we do not have the battery for this. It comes in it's original leather case. There is also an original Pentax metal lens hood for the lens which comes in it's own leather case. The camera also comes in it's original Pentax leather case which is in good condition. And to round it off, everything comes in an original Pentax hard case, together with the original owner's manual. One seldom find kits like these in great condition.

Do not miss this one! This camera was film tested during May 2021 with a roll of Agfa APX100 which expired 7 years ago. Here are some of the photos.
