Looks nice, pictures should turn out even better. Congrats!

Btw do anybody knows if/what Olympus FL RF model depictions really mean? Like, RC - Resin Coated, SP - SPot meter, LC - Long to Come, and so on?

Box as well - all looks quite splendid!
And just how old is it?

I have an LC...nowhere near that nice, however. I love it. Same great lens as the SP, but much simpler design and less prone to fail, match needle meter only. It's really a lovely camera. Enjoy it!

No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film. ~Robert Adams, Darkroom & Creative Camera Techniques, May 1995 (I suppose that should now read: "and have a full battery and an empty memory card." Though that sounds so dull.

Wow man in the box and everything! What a steal!

I've really enjoyed my LC, it's a wonderful camera and just the right size (I actually prefer its size to my previous SPs) I just wish I could clean the VF assembly myself, mine's a bit hazy.

But boy what a lens on this thing! It's beautiful.
