What it is
Condition drives what a body sells for: working meters and clean shutters sit at the top of the range, while cosmetically tired examples pull the value down.","buying_guide":"Check the shutter at all speeds for accuracy and capping, and test the meter, as selenium- and CdS-era metering circuits from this period are frequently unreliable.
