    Description

    Vintage Olympus Six Folding Camera with a Zuiko F.C. , F3.5, in original leather case without rips. The leather on the camera front door of the camera is peeling  but is intact elsewhere. By the way, a leather camera case this age in this nice of condition is very rare and the stitching looks good through out.
    The back of the camera is
    very tight
    , the thin sheet metal has two working film previews and all branding is good through out.
    Nice red plastic in the door and it is scary tight.
    Bellows are torn near back of bellows next to a spring; small tear there that is visible once bellows are extended.
    Easiest to see this with the back of the camera open.
    Lens has
    mold
    , focus turns,
    shutter speed is not easy to change
    but does change. Front element looks like it has a haze.
    For focus
    you will need a rangefinder as this does not have one at all.
    No 6x4.5 format mask is included
    You could set focus at Infinity for landscapes. Viewfinder is fairly clear as it really is just a metal rectangle with glass.
    Cold shoe looks unused.
    Door for the lens and shutter opens easily though the lens in the shutter needs your help getting set up right; this camera is around seventy; help an old timer out! Um, literally...
    Shutter tested on a PhoChron XA Shutter tester as follows and averaged after five tests per speed:
    1: 1.06 tested
    2: 1.80 tested
    5: 5.28 tested
    10: 11.7 tested
    25: 18.1 tested
    50: 28.3 tested
    100: 41.2 tested
    200: 116 tested
    Not film tested
    , body serial number is 127,333, lens serial is 120,273,
    no 6x4.5 mask is included
    though this camera can shoot both, rust on outside of body with some corrosion on the bottom. Knobs do turn though it feels like the film take up only turns to take up.
