Includes three viewfinders: waist level, metered chimney, 45 degree metered prism. Both meters work and come with fresh batteries.
Waist level has one support arm not attached but functions ok. The prism finder is missing the tempered glass bottom cover.
It functions ok and includes a metal slide to protect viewfinder when not attached to the camera. All viewfit nders function ok. In addition to the 85mm f2.8 lens is a 55mm f3.5 lens. The focus on the 55mm lens is a little stiff at the close focus end. Needs to be cleaned and lubed.
Otherwise, this lens is in good condition. Both lenses seem to be free of fungus. There are light cleaning marks on rear element of the 55mm and the mirror of the camera shows some cleaning marks.
