This compumatic camera featured a newly shaped release button containing a name plate. Unfortunately, the name plate was simply glued on and as a result, as is often the case, the name plate is missing. It may diminish the appearance but it otherwise has no effect on the operation of the release.

The locking shutter plexiglass dial only works in the 38 (fully open) setting.

Comes complete with a take-up spool.
