I had this very camera for about a year in 1977; I sold it to a
girlfriend. I've regretted it ever since. It was a wonderful camera,
and she didn't appreciate it (I later learned that she traded it in on
a Minolta HiMatic).

That lens was the best low-light screwmount lens I have ever owned. I
bought a Leica 50mm shoe-mount viewfinder for it because I didn't much
care for its viewfinder. I have some really great pictures of my
grandparents that I took with that camera.
