Olympus 35 RC 35mm rangefinder camera Very clean works

OLYMPUS 35 RC Offered here (and shown in the accompanying photos) is a very clean 35mm rangefinder camera made in Japan by Olympus in the 1970s. The camera is in excellent cosmetic condition - no dents or dings, or signs of having been dropped or of having been wet. The shutter fires smoothly at all speeds and all controls are smooth and positive. The meter and AE system are working and the rangefinder/viewfinder is bright and easy to focus. The lens is clean, clear, and scratch-free. These cameras are highly regarded and images I've made with this camera have always been sharp and contrasty. This camera would be a nice user or a fine addition to any collection. It comes with its original lens cap as shown. Please don't hesitate to ask questions.
