Werra Test Shots

I recently bought an early model Werra camera. Not sure what model this one is but it is definitely the simplest looking in design, which was the main reason I bought it. Looking at the camera house, there's only the shutter button. All other features have been moved to less-visible parts of the camera. A simple and stunning looking camera.

It was purchased online from Bulgaria so my expectations were very low but to my surprise It was in amazing condition for a 50 year old camera. Lens was very clean and all functions seemed to work fine. I bought some ILFORD professional 400 black & white film and had a day roaming the city taking photo's. I had never used a film camera before so I had no idea what I was doing and learned a lot from
this first role of film. Overall I was very impressed, here are some of the better pictures taken from that first roll;
