Post your Werra-work

[rhl-oregon]

Let's keep it simple: post your favorite Werra-work from all models with as much or little anecdotage, praise or complaint as you wish. (If you don't Leica Werra, this ain't the thread for you.)

From my last Werra III stroll.

Nice shots. There is a Werramat currently on my workbench in pieces. I couldn't give it away for parts so now I guess I gotta fix the damn thing!:bang:

Crikey! Now I'm going to need one of these cameras! I'll sign off of RFF and get to looking for one!

 

[rhl-oregon]

Good luck, Tom! Come back soon with your shots.

(I'm on my second Werra--a III with functioning selenium meter, nice RF patch, and diopter. It's a far smoother machine than my first Werramatic, which was sticky and needed a CLA so got a new owner. The Zeiss 50 2.8 is full of personality---definitive separation of foreground and background, like someone ready to tell you what matters and what doesn't.)

Werramatic 35, 50 and 100 mm

Werramatic 35, 50 and 100 mm

Although I don't use it enough, it's a camera very dear to me, because I had to clean and adjust the shutter and I succeeded :angel:.
My 35 is bit of a mess: cloudy and a damaged rear element. The 50 and 100 are fine and very good indeed.

Beautiful shots from, IMHO, the most beautiful camera ever made!

I recently sold my original Werra in olive.

Well, I took another stab at getting my Werramat working and finally had success!

Hurray, Reid. Makes me want to load up and go out, even though I'm exhausted. But it has been too long since I shot mine. Maybe next in rotation, after the Contax G.

Thanks! I rather enjoyed shooting with it and will have to take it out again soon.
