Something about this camera looks fishy:

From the bottom view the entire camera bottom appears to be bent - though perhaps it's just an optical illusion, since the camera back has a slight natural curvature and the camera's tilted in the photo.

That's all that I can see, other than the few scuffs.

Didn't y'all see the wood (flat head) screws around the lens front?

The outer lens ring cover is missing. I guess I did not as I have seen this so many times with old cameras.

Upon further review, and checking the teardown sheet for a Canonet G III, I have found out this is the way Canon did their lenses.  I never would have guessed.  Looked like shade tree engineering to me.

Hay bro We all have what we think is perfect and some of us find that if it looks ugly but works then we have a fine girl. Smiley
