A four-layer application technique of thin coats ensures a durable finish resistant to chipping; this meticulous work guarantees longevity while preventing oxidation and paint adhesion failure.

The rangefinder mechanism functions correctly and the shutter curtains are perfectly flat and defect-free. The viewfinder has been serviced by Leica professionals; it is bright and clear, enabling fast and precise focusing thanks to the yellow dot. The light meter cell activates correctly and includes the original battery; the battery compartment is free of corrosion. Please note that the cell has not undergone rigorous calibration testing; consequently, absolute measurement accuracy is not guaranteed.
