Oh, yeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

I'm only had a 1961 Exakta from Ihagee/Dresden. I found the camera in the trashcan!

No, since it's a Zenith. A bad Russian camera that is prone to failure. Also, it's probably not in "perfect working condition" because you don't quite know what to check for.

For shooting, you can get something with a meter and a less abysmal choice of shutter speeds for the same price. But for a collector's item, $25 is a decent price (assuming you're outside the ex-USSR; otherwise, it's a ripoff unless the condition is absolutely mint)

Zenit S was a decently built and quite advanced camera for 1955. The problem is that they kept producing essentially the same design for the next 50 years while the craftsmanship got progressively worse.

It's in pretty kick ass condition. I have an FED 3 rangefinder that has exceeded all of my expectations. This is similar, but SLR. The thing that surprises me is how nice pictures on black and white film look. Production quality varies, but they're not terrible for fixing up. I'm an amateur so it's not really worth it to spend a bajillion dollars on a Leica rangefinder or higher end SLR.
