Allo, my first post :-)
I picked up a bulk lot of goodies yesterday from Gumtree (Not sure if Gumtree exists on your side of the world - Im in Australia. Gumtree is a free buy/sell webpage - like an online yard sale)
Anyway.
There was a single picture and the description - Film camera collection, looking for a good home. Among the cameras pictured there was a Pentax T50 (Meh) and Minolta QTsi (also meh), a set of Minolta Macro Belllows iii and a couple of carry bags. BUT tucked in among that gear was an Olive green Werra 3 in near perfect condition!
I'd been chasing one of these in reasonable condition for ages! Nearly impossible to find one for sale in this country!
The lady would only sell it as a bulk lot and not separate it so I have a couple of other cameras to clean up, play with and on-sell. She had no idea what the Werra (or any of these cameras) was and she was just happy to get the collection out of her cupboard.
$50 Australian delivered. Get one of the cameras I've been looking for and a couple of hundred dollars w\orth of other gear to re-sell to. Not a bad days searching.
Bargain - ever growing collection :-)
