June 12th shots

The Werra continues to impress. I put a roll of cheep Kodak Ultramax through and had it developed at a 1hr Fotofast. My thoughts were that this would be an exercise in testing focal length and exposure time and not worry about development. I'm very happy with the shots considering I used the cheapest development and film available. Some of the building shots have a colour and look of an old Polaroid.

Dawn of the Dead Werra

Now this might seem like a stupid thing to do and a waist of money to some but I bought another Werra. Its pretty much the walking dead of cameras. It looks like someone put it through the washing machine, dragged it behind a car and then used it as a petri dish for a school science project. But seriously I have bought this camera for a reason, I want to dissect and document the internal workings. I know this is of only one model but I still think I can learn a lot from this exercise. Before anyone gets upset and thinks I'm a butcher, look at the pictures of the camera. It's definitely dead. So the obsession with the Werra is escalating , as soon as I receive the camera I will start the the dissection and post my progress.
