The good bits:

The body is in good condition, with just a little brass showing on a couple of corners.
The base still has its protective plastic cover on.

I've just put a roll of film through it and although the light seals are a bit worn, there's no sign of any light leakage.

All the shutter speeds seem to be working well. I haven't been able to accurately time them, but I did expose some frames at between 1/30 and 1/250 with constant EV and there's no significant variation in the density of the negatives.
The flash syncs at 1/60, just as it should.
The Self Timer and Depth-of-field preview both work well.

The bad bits:
The exposure meter needs adjustment - its at least two stops out.
The frame counter remains at zero.

In summary, it's time for a CLA, but functions well as-is, if you use a hand-held meter

40mm f2.8 SMC M Pancake Lens
The glass is clean, and the focus smooth.
The aperture stops click nicely and the iris closes smoothly.
Slightly worn paint on the focus ring.

135mm f3.5 SMC M
Excellent condition.


I'm looking for £155, or best offer for the lot.
If you want to inspect them, I commute between London W13 and Oxford Street W1, so could meet anywhere between those two.
