This camera is 35mm viewfinder camera with a built in coupled “Gossen” selenium cell meter.
The viewfinder has a needle display for exposure meter reading.
The camera has a Rodenstock Reomar f/2.8 45mm lens in a Prontor LK shutter. The shutter ranges from 1/15-1/500 +B
The film is advanced by lever mounted on the base plate of the camera. This camera is know as the Fat Boy for some unknown reason. The production ran from 1960-63 with some 224,000 units produced.
The cosmetic condition of this camera is like new.
I have tested the camera it the best of my knowledge and its working fine.
The light meter reacts to changes in light - Over time these selenium cells deteriorate and so loose accuracy.
So I will not answer to issue over the light meter.
This is a real gem of a camera and comes with its case and instructions with original box.
