The F3HP has relatively heavy brassing on the edges = of the prism, and around the strap lugs, rewind knob, and shutter = release. There is heavy finish wear on the back. There are little pecks = and dings, but no major dents. About a year ago I had the rear portion = of the prism replaced because the threads for the eyepiece were = stripped. At that time the camera had a complete clean, lube and adjust. = It's had very little use since. Mechanically perfect as to every = function. A great camera for it's 100% viewfinder. The 20mm is a good match condition-wise. The front glass is fine, there = are some marks in the coating of the rear element that do not effect = image quality. Before I bought this lens used I shot several rolls of = chromes trying to notice any image imperfections from these coating = marks and I could never see any. Nikon rear cap and non-Nikon, plastic = front cap. This was probably my favorite (non-Leica) lens. I'm only = giving it up because I finally got the Leica 21mm 2.8 M.
