The rangefinder is clean , contrasty and bright and it seems to be working perfectly.

The back has a small cracked spot in the casing but seems to be working fine. Comes with the square brown case intended for the camera , the accessories and an extra back.
Here is some info from off the webbs. This is a Kodak Ektra, a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by the Eastman Kodak Corporation between the years 1941 and 1948. It was at the time of its release, and still is today, the most advanced and feature rich American made 35mm camera ever built. Designed to compete with German cameras like the Leica and Contax, the Ektra matched in terms of quality and had features that no other German camera had, such as an adjustable focal length viewfinder and rangefinder, a magazine loading film back, and a range of lenses from 35mm to 153mm. Kodak spared no expense making the greatest camera they could possibly make, but that meant it also had a very high price that kept sales low during its 7 year production run. As a result of its high quality, unique features, and rarity, the Kodak Ektra is one of the most desirable cameras by collectors.
