Camera 35mm ILFORD Sportsman VARIO + case

SALE AT MY EBAY 2011

I am selling this vintage Ilford Sportsman camera on my website charliequins. It has a Dacora 1:2.8/45mm lens thats clean and has no scratches or fungi. The Vario shutter is in good working order, fires on all speeds, the shutter blades are very clean and responsive.

The film winder winds on smoothly and the viewfinder is very clean, almost as good as the day it was made in 'Western Germany'. The silver chrome finish has a very nice patina from general use, no nasty scratches or dinks and internally its very clean.
The leatherette is in very good order, even underneath although this could do with a little attention. It has lifted on the one end and requires re-glueing, a quick and easy job I would do myself but don't have any glue.
The leather case is in very good condition, the stitching is all good and the strap is good with just some wearing and thinning.
Ideal for a camera collector, 'film' photographer or as a long term investment.
