Features include an uncoupled selenium light meter (with the cell in front of the pentaprism, and the scale fitted around the rewind crank, to the photographer's left) and a depth-of-field scale based on coloured dots rather than numbers (the aperture markings have matching colours, as can be seen on the meter scale). Wide-angle and telephoto lens converters were available which fitted to the front of the fixed lens.
