It's the one Jen got me for Christmas, the shutter is sticky, and the RF glass is so filthy you almost can't see the RF patch. I think the shutter works okay but needs cleaning up; the rest of it looks good, maybe that's only skin deep though! It has a Sonnar 50mm f2 lens with a little spot on it, maybe separation, but I used it for half a roll on my Kiev and you couldn't tell the difference.
Got the shutter from a Super Ikonta III but it won't go on my IV, too many small differences. Ah well, keep looking I guess.
