Such a beautiful beastie, with lovely brassing and a very interesting backstory as it was used extensively by a well known archaeologist. I am stoked to have it. The Micro-Nikkor-P 55mm f/3.5 Auto is a lovely lens, and the rather rushed test roll turned out well.
The Photomic FTn prism is pretty mean looking, the meter is working intermittently, I am hopeful this is just a battery issue. The last couple of days it has worked everytime I’ve tried it, I may have to invest in some adapters to limit the voltage of LR44s.
Some of the controls that were initially quite stiff, such as the rear prism release button, are loosening with use.
The seals will need attention at some stage, but otherwise it is in usable condition.
Great fun to use so far, even when just using sunny 16 for metering.
The test roll was a very expired roll of Kodak Ultramax 400.
