Would you buy this camera?

[paulrobhudson]

Hey everyone. I'm very excited that I found a Yachica Mat for sale. The test images are here, is there anything I should look out for? Also, is the Braun Super Paxette any good? Im just diving back into analogue, would appreciate some help.
Thanks

Paul

I'd have to know a lot more about the camera, first! Has it been cleaned, adjusted? Is there oxidation? Are the speeds accurate?

 

[paulrobhudson]

Ah, thanks very much. I will find out.

Sorry, adjusted for what?

I had one in the mid 70s while in Korea. I liked it very much. But as karateisland, more would need to be known to endorse or revile it.

In the late 70s, I acquired a Rollieflex and never could bond to it and gave it away to a family member.

Thanks very much, I'll find out. The camera is only around 100 bucks.

As soon as I asked about the speeds etc, the guy told me it's not for sale any more.

Sounds like he was trying to sell you a broken camera.
