The paint is flaking off of the bottom plate. Cosmetically, I rate this camera at an (8+.) The camera is in proper working order. The finder is bright and accurate, the meter and shutter are accurate at all speeds, and the shutter is in excellent condition. Film advances properly, and the shutter dial and rewind are smooth. There are some small specks of dust in the finder but they do not impact use. This camera comes with the original body cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col text-sm pb-25\"\u003e\n\u003carticle data-turn=\"assistant\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\"
