RARE Aires 35v Rangefinder Camera With Accessories

7/9 Note: I have repackaged and updated the shipping to be more reasonable. You’re bidding on a rare lot of photography history. Everything is sold AS IS with no warranty. Almost everything is in excellent cosmetic condition. However, I haven’t tested everything for functionality. The core item is an Aires 35-V rangefinder camera. The shutter clicks and the advancer advances.The light meter doesn’t work and I couldn’t find the focus circle in the viewer. I’m sure if someone k...nows how to restore vintage cameras this would be something they could fix but I’m not that guy. I haven’t used the camera to take pictures so I can’t speak to the output. Next up: lenses. This camera had 3 lenses: standard, telephoto, and wide angle. All are included with original caps and hoods. Also included are two filters: skylight and yellow. Also with some spring circle thing, I don’t know what it is but it has its own case pouch thing. There are 2 mechanical timers. One Walz and one Minori that comes with a case and the original instructions. There is also a mechanical remote shutter button. There is a Yashica Pro-50 DX flash. I haven’t tested it. There are also these light meter things. I don’t know what they are or how they work. But they come with neat little leather cases. Speaking of leather cases, the camera itself has a leather case that is still in good shape. Lastly, I’m including a bag that it all fits in (not pictured).
Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
