I have too many cameras, so the older ones are going.

	Heidosmat Viewing Lens

The camera is in good overall condition.  There is a small leather circle
missing from one of the knobs.  The meter does not appear to function (this is
an extremely common problem with cameras of this age).

The major flaw is that the taking lens appears to have a few spots on it
(formerly fungus?), and there appears to have been previous attempts to clean
it up (unsuccessfully).  The result is that the front taking lens element is
not in great shape.  I'd guess that photos taken with this camera will be
*slightly* less contrasty than otherwise, but the focus should not be
affected.  Photos I have taken with this camera have exhibited the same high
image quality I've come to expect from my other Rolleis.

This would serve as a great camera for getting into medium format photography,
or a first student camera.  This could also be used by a collector as a parts
camera, or someone might be able to repair/replace the front element to bring
the camera back to its full potential.  In any case this is a great bargain
find... 

Manuals for this camera are available online, and I can provide links to the
relevant websites to the eventual buyer.
