Found this one in an antique mall last year with the original lens cap, meter, accessory shoe, instruction book, and ERC. And it works! It was tested with Kodak ProFoto XL 100, getting 39 exposures from the roll. The meter is off a stop, but that can possibly be adjusted out. Not bad for being at least fifty years old (manufactured 1962-64). Lens is clean, and the diaphragm is snappy. And I’m happy.

I admire what this classic camera allowed you to do.

Ah - from a time when cameras were built to last...what a delightful find!
