The postage rates I have quoted are chosen to include tracking and adequate insurance. The overseas rate is to cover Europe. I do not aim to make a profit on postage so if actual costs are significantly less than the amount paid I will make a refund. Alternatively overseas buyers can request an invoice or wait for me to issue one (which I will do for unpaid items when the batch of auctions has finished), I will adjust the postage appropriately on the invoice. I will combine multiple purchases to minimise the postage costs, again best to request or wait for an invoice. I will accept bids from non-European buyers provided they have contacted me first for a postage quote and that they have a good feedback history.
I am selling an Exakta RTL 1000 camera, it is serial number 232242. It is fitted with a f1.8 50mm Meyer Gorlitz Oreston lens, serial number 4992568. The camera is also fitted with a waist level finder. This version without any Exakta branding appears to be rarer than the other two versions.
The camera winds and fires, but it has not been tested with film. The metal shutter blades are in good condition. The shutter speeds sound OK, the slow speeds work. The delayed action works but the very slow speeds don’t. The camera is cosmetically very good with few signs of wear. There is no play in the lens mount on this example.
Cosmetically the lens is very smart. Mechanically the focusing and the iris work well. Optically it looks quite clean with just a little internal dust.
This camera and lens is 50 years old and is sold as seen. A service will undoubtedly be necessary if it is to be used for taking pictures. Please bid with this assumption.
I am slimming down a collection of around 300 35mm SLRs of most makes and vintages, so please keep watching for my sales. If anyone has a particular requirement please let me know, if I have an example I can prioritise its listing.
