Condition Note: This particular unit exhibits heavy internal haze. This condition will result in a significant “soft focus” or “dreamy” effect, characterized by lower contrast and a glowing look around light sources. While this may not be suitable for traditional high-clarity photography, it offers a unique aesthetic for experimental projects, lo-fi videography, or as a base for repair and parts.
