Paired with a vintage Asahi Auto-Takumar 55mm f\/2 prime lens featuring a distinctive semi-automatic aperture cocking lever mechanism. Offered strictly for spares, repairs, or restoration due to mechanical and optical defects.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOverall Condition: Spares or Repair\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe camera body shows moderate cosmetic age and handling wear, including minor scuffs on the chrome top and bottom plates. Textured leatherette body covering is complete and intact. Optical elements of the Auto-Takumar 55mm f\/2 lens contain minor internal fungus. Mechanically, the reflex mirror sticks intermittently during cycle, and the film winder return spring is weak, requiring the advance lever to be pushed back manually. Serial numbers: Body 250295, Lens 297207.
