It is virtually mint. I bought it at a local camera store that traded a widowed older woman a Yashica point and shoot for the Leica and a Rolleiflex. Her husband had passed away and she had no idea how to operate either camera and just wanted something with which to take pictures. It was a tremendous opportunity for me to buy the Leica I had always wanted. I also feel that I do her late husband honor by appreciating and caring for it as he had done. I still have it to this day and will make sure my wife knows to get a better return when I pass on. Carl S.
