Olympus 35 RC compact 35mm rangefinder camera (needs attention)

Description: A vintage Olympus 35 RC compact 35mm rangefinder camera, introduced by Olympus in 1970. Nicknamed the "Richard" by its designers, it is famous for being one of the absolute smallest traditional rangefinder cameras ever made to feature both full manual controls and a shutter-priority auto mode. It comes equipped with a highly regarded, razor-sharp E. Zuiko 42mm f/2.8 prime lens. The mechanical shutter operates without a battery, meaning you can shoot completely manually at any time. The small battery is only required to power the automatic exposure meter.

Date:1970.

Condition: VG, but with a dent to the lens ring. The timer arm is not working and the shutter is not cocking. In need of repair.
