Description

This is the desirable early-80s Japanese-made "Model B" revision (Serial No. 2237004, visible in the hot shoe), which includes the AE-Lock and original robust internal build.

Light Meter: Tested and accurate.

Hi, hope you’re well, wondering which capacitor this camera has?

@branson let me check that for you when I am home later. The serial number can usually tell you, but there might be further info inside the body.

Hi there, the number in the hot shoe is 1078446 (I had posted the incorrect serial number previously, apologies), which means that the camera has the earlier model titanium capacitors. I had the CLA done by Camera Repair Centre and have had no issues using the camera. Yours for €160.

The tantalum-to-electrolytic capacitor switch happened somewhere around the 2,000,000 serial mark, I believe.
