pretty much, it's to hold the canon flash.
i've read up on it but frankly don't remember much at the moment.
it's a user, for sure, but i'm hoping a good cleaning will help spruce it up some. one of my p's has a dent on top also and it turned out to be my favourite body.
i think it went so cheap because the seller was a bit too frank about it's looks and it being a user and not for collectors.
people are funny in that many want an old camera that looks new.
i just want a comfortable body to hold that 50/1.8 full time.
