Condition 

Used – Good condition
The camera is in good working order. Shutter speeds sound accurate, and the meter responds to light with a fresh battery. The lens is optically clean, with no haze, fungus, or major dust. Focus and aperture rings turn smoothly. Cosmetically, the body shows typical signs of use, such as minor scuffs on the grip and light wear on the lens barrel, but overall well cared for.
