Love this camera!!! Wanted to test it out for a few weeks before reviewing and being new to the camera world. Will definitely be purchasing from this shop again!! Also if you’re American (unfortunately) like me you may have to get a new power cord which is a super quick fix but all in all 10/10 no complaints!!

The item arrived quickly. I've shot a test film, and everything works as described. Although I am American, I am trying to buy less from American sellers due to the current political climate. Therefore, the fact that the seller is from Europe provides an additional advantage for me.

Works great! Bought a Pentax that came with the same lens but it stopped working shortly after getting it. This lens’s aperture is smooth and works just like described. Definitely a good choice to shop.
