The shutter is inaccurate, mostly being too long resulting in overexposure. The body is extremely worn, with signs of corrosion and peeling leatherette. The cover for the focusing screen hood is particularly loose. The lens is dirty and hazy and has coating damage. The viewfinder is also hazy and there's some fungus on the focusing screen.

Large Format System

Large format photography encompasses any format larger than medium format (120). Usually, this refers to formats 4x5 inches (9x12cm) or larger. At one point, there were other formats like half or quarter plate, but nowadays there are 3 common formats; 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10. Sizes larger than 8x10, such as 11x14, are called Ultra Large Format (ULF).
