The pictures are of the actual camera you are bidding on. CAMERA BUYERS TIP #1: Older cameras (such as this one) have many potential issues. A partial list of the most common defects would include: deteriorating light seals and/or mirror foam, internal dirt or dust on the prism or focusing screen, sluggish mirror return, inaccurate shutter speeds, dead or inaccurate light meter, shorted electronics, stripped film advance gears. The charges to fix ANY of these problems usually starts at about $75.00 and escalates upwards from there (and that is just the labor). If parts are required most often the camera cannot be repaired as parts have not been available for a decade. Its a wonderful thing that these cameras were made so well that if handled properly they will last another generation or more. It is important to you that when you buy a used camera you have an inspection period and the total right of return. If not you may get lucky and get a camera with no issues (in my experience that would be VERY lucky) more likely you will have a servicing bill that is equal to or more than the cost of the camera.
