TOPCON M - Collector's Item (Special camera; cannot be used for general photography)

TOPCON M

This is likely a Topcon camera for photomicrography.

It appears to use the body of the RE Super, but it does not have a built-in TTL meter. The shutter is a cloth focal-plane shutter, but it is single-speed (probably 1/60). The viewfinder and screen are compatible with the RE Super, but the viewfinder itself is also a special type.

There are signs of mold and dust on the eyepiece of the viewfinder. The screen is not included.

The lens mount is also an Exakta mount, like the RE Super, but it does not have an automatic aperture mechanism. Above all, the flange back distance is different, so even if you attach a general lens, you can only do close-up photography.

There are no dents in the body, but there is roughness on the surface of the plating.

Even if you can attach regular Exakta mount lenses or Topcon lenses, they will only focus at close range. Since the shutter is also single-speed, it cannot be used as a general camera.
This is an item for collectors of Topcon cameras.

Because it is a special camera that lacks the mechanisms of a general camera, it will be sold as a junk item.

Thank you for viewing.
