Description from the seller
WERRAMAT – CARL ZEISS JENA TESSAR 50mm f/2.8 – 1961 – FILM-TESTED
Magnificent Werramat, a 35 mm film camera manufactured in East Germany by Carl Zeiss Jena from 1961 onward. A genuine gem of German photographic engineering, renowned for its original design, exceptional optical quality, and sophisticated mechanics.
Very good cosmetic and mechanical condition, with perfect operation. Film-tested, with developed negatives confirming that it works correctly.
Lens: Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50 mm f/2.8, celebrated for its excellent sharpness, contrast, and optical quality.
Shutter: Prestor RVS, with speeds of up to 1/750 s—a remarkable technical achievement for its time.
Light meter: coupled selenium meter, with a needle display visible directly in the viewfinder.
Viewfinder: sophisticated system of mirrors and prisms that lets you view the aperture and shutter speed settings without taking your eye away from the camera.
Mechanics: works perfectly, verified through actual film photography.
Accessories: includes a case and an original bayonet-mount yellow filter, especially suited to black-and-white photography, as it improves sky contrast, brings out clouds, and provides more pronounced tonal separation.
The Werramat was introduced in 1961 as an evolution of the Werra II, incorporating significant technical improvements and an exposure system that was especially advanced for its time.
Its distinctive film-advance mechanism, operated by turning the ring around the lens, makes it one of the most original cameras in the history of German photography.
A high-quality classic camera, fully functional and film-tested, ideal for both collectors and lovers of analog photography.
