Yes I returned it immediately, but probably have to lose about $25 for
the shipping and insurance. I bought it from Don Chatterton in
Seattle. I simply could not believe this.
The problem was the shutter and frame preview, which was totally off.
I tried to exercise it starting at 1 sec as usual. It was trigering
like 1/125th at all the slow speeds. The preview lever did not work
at all. It simply did not give me the right frame as I pushed it in
and out. Again it looked mint- with a little bit of scratches on the
bottom plate. Don used to be pretty good.
I have lost about $25 only for my expectation.
Regards,
David
