For Sale
Rarely seen Pax Golden View Rangefinder
camera, c. 1955. Very scarce camera. And
what a looker. Just a beautiful camera.
Cosmetically, its beautiful showing very
little wear/use - strong 9 condition.
Package Includes "gold" lens cap, gold lens
shade, yellow filter, green leather case and
green hood/filter leather pouch.
Shutter works fine. Lens is clean and
clear. Viewfinder window a bit cloudy.
Rangefinder image is good with contrast -
however, lens focusing mechanism is not
focusing the camera - it needs some
adjustment/repair (common ailment for this
camera). Aperture blades dry, but aperture
ring is frozen. A repair to the lens/shutter
would be needed to use the camera but this
camera is really about it's stunning good
looks. Case is split but otherwise nice in
its matching green leather. $ 319 plus
shipping.

You can see the issue with the focusing in
the video below. The knob turns a ring
around the lens which should turn the
rangefinder unit, but the ring is
slipping.
