I just got the ebay $25 lynx, and it aint pretty! Well, the outside of the camera and the glass isn't so bad. No scratches and no fungus in that hunk of glass. Nicer glass than my current lynx 14 (which is in excellent shape).
But the shutter is totally jacked. The ad indicated that the shutter worked. It doesn't. The shutter and aperture rings are turned from where they should be, and the shutter will open, but it won't close until you wind it.
Don't know about the meter, didn't test it, but there is a small amount of corrosion in there.
Im a little disappointed, but if Russ can fix it, then it will be worth it.

thats too bad, ask for the $$ back if he misrepresented it or better send it to Russ to try to fix. At $25 it was worth the risk I think.
