Carl Zeiss Werra I 35mm Scale Focus Camera

After WW II Zeiss Ikon was split in an East-Germany part in Jena near Dresden and a West-German part in Stuttgart. Lens manufacturing still continued as Carl Zeiss Jena and the company even made a range of cameras: the Werra.

Werra

The Werra was an eye-catching futuristic-looking range of cameras produced from 1954 until about 1967 by Carl Zeiss Jena, better known for their Carl Zeiss lenses. A wide range of models was available with a basic model to which various features were added. Other than the first few versions, all had Tessar lenses and most were available in olive green or black.
A rather unique feature of the Werras was the method of film advance and shutter cocking, which was done by a small twist of the lens base, the ring around the lens barrel. This made the camera quick to use. A nice design feature was that the lens cover also served as a lens hood simply by mounting it in reverse. Below follows an overview of the various Werra types and models.

Please note when purchasing a lens that condition standards with these products come with specific considerations due to their age, maintenance, and wear. We take pride in refurbishing and reconditioning these lenses however please consider that all used lenses will have some specks of dust in the optics no matter the condition rating. Functionality, focusing accuracy and image quality may not meet modern lens standards.
