• Bellows: Crisp, supple, light-tight, and looks brand new.
• Viewfinder: Exceptionally clean and clear.
• Case: Includes the original Zeiss Ikon leather case and strap, which are both completely mint and intact.

Optical & Mechanical Condition:

• Lens: Novar-Anastigmat 45mm f/3.5 lens is absolutely pristine. No fungus, no haze, no scratches.
• Focus: Silky smooth movement throughout the range.
• Shutter: The shutter crisp and fires perfectly at faster speeds. Please note: As is typical with cameras stored for long periods, the slow speeds are currently dragging/lazy due to dried internal lubricants.
