Please read! This camera was my daily carry for a few years and taught me a lot, however it now only works properly in the aperture priority mode and AE exposure comp. While set to auto, the shutter fires at the correct speed as displayed in the viewfinder. However when set to one of the manual speeds, it will sometimes fire incorrectly. The difference could be just one stop but on occasion it is more extreme. For example, while set to 1/500 it might go off at 1/30. This doesn't occur every time you release the shutter however it became annoying for me since I usually shoot manual. Everything else about the camera, functionally, is great and the rangefinder patch is very accurate. I used it for a long time with an f/2.8 lens and never missed focus because of the patch. The self timer works and I've never had any issues with the hot shoe. If you're someone who is looking to use aperture priority this would be great for you and I'm glad to answer any questions or provide additional photos upon request!
