I couldn't resist so I bought it

For the price I can't complain. Hopefully it's in good working condition.

The model without the meter was my fathers favorite camera for family and vacation stuff. She is a great camera.

What a deal. I do hope she works well for you, but, if not, she's worth restoring.

nice deal....... I could not resist and pressed the $75 BIN button for a, clad by Alan Marlow, Konica S3. Did not need this one but it was a really fair price and this Konica is a nice RF camera. But where I really could not resist (and wait) was a $275 BIN button for a nice black Minolta 7SII with case and original lenshood. I was looking for this one for a while to complete my manual fixed RF collection, which I got quiet cheap in total. Well, the last black 7SII I missed, was clad by Minolta two years ago but had a little problem with the film winder. That one sold for $85 😱. I was sitting infront of the screen and missed that auction :bang:. This ruined my holiday and stayed in my head for to long. The medicine cost me another extra $190. I could resist the $650 BIN button for a nice Minolta CLE + 40 M-Rokkor, but was walking around the room for almost an hour here.

( Ups, this is Retina RF section, sorry. Enjoy your new camera. )

For what I paid for it if it needs service I'll still have little invested..

I believe certo6 is doing a good job on that kind of camera. But maybe there are other cla alternatives.

Good advice. Okay, I'm outta here to get fixin's for an early dinner. Then my wife and I are off to Roland's (ferider) for his July 4th fireworks bash. See, even when I get off the computer I can't get away from the rff! 😀

The Retina arrived today and after a bit of minor cleaning checked it out. Shutter works and sounds good at all speeds. Meter is surprisingly accurate at various light levels as checked with my Sekonic L-358. It even had its original incident attachment safely strapped into its position in a very good condition case..

Rangefinder is dead on and bright..

I do believe its a keeper..
