I bought the camera about a month ago and I just developed the first roll. I love the results. Other than the rangefinder being out of adjustment, everything works well...

R/F is easy to adjust, there are instructions in this forum somewhere.
you will love the camera, simple robust, reliable. I've had mine for over 40 years!!! I would say its the best of the FSU r/f cameras, IMHO, but others will have other favourites.
The results will be up to your skill.
My collapsible 50 is extremely sharp
I gave it a new overcoat recently!!

Look after them and they last and last, I bought mine on a shool trip to Moscow in the early 60's, my first "serious" camera, I also got a 28mm Orion lens, and a Leningrad 1 meter.
All are still with me, other cameras have come and gone!!
They have been to the top of the Jungfrau, Iceland and Greenland and God knows where else, I gave it a new overcoat as the original ribbed vinyl covering had started to shrink, and it has had a CLA a few years ago.
It still turns out the goods.
