These are among the first 35mm film cameras with such built in light meter. But the light meter is not coupled. These are historically important in history of photography development which took over 100 years to get to how we take photos today. The cameras were developed step by step. Collectors who collect and admire, the progress of the marvel of engineering and the people who devoted their lives to improve the art of taking photographs. It’s a very interesting subject to follow and learn and most of all what is better than having you own collection of vintage cameras at home so you can display it and have an interesting conversation with family and friends. For all the camera collectors and enthusiasts around the world buy and collect these vintage gems as much as you can while available, the knowledge you get out of it is far more valuable than money you spend to buy them.
