my daughter picked up the kowa-made graflex century 35 for me at an estate sale. it is in superb shape - except for the shutter blades being sticky. i can see what looks like lube iridescence glinting in the sunlight on some of the blades. the aperture seems just fine. the shutter occasionally works at 1/500, sometimes 3-4 straight shots at time. it works very occasionally on B. everything seems to be cocking just fine. the rangefinder patch is pretty stinking good and focusing seems dead on.
boy, i'd to shoot this thing. it is very nicely made, and comes to hand easily ...
