Com ela fiz centenas de fotos e a qualidade da imagem obtida com a Carl Zeiss Tessar era muito boa.Gostava de a completar com a grande angular e a tele-objectiva.

It served me well for many years. Only recently I scanned some BW negatives from it. The quality is still there after all those years. An amazing camera which I underestimated at the time. I love the Bauhaus design aesthetic of this little gem.Donal Leaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997083000836673326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475701907507093299.post-35763968980865827312013-08-10T20:30:07.170+01:002013-08-10T20:30:07.170+01:00Richard Kingston (Oxford/England)

It was in the final of '60, in Brazil. My camera had no exposure built in meter, so I had to use Sunny 16 tables. Got nice pics on that time. Your Werras look mint! As brande news!
