Hi there, yes it does have that beautiful lens hood, the whole body and lens is in immaculate condition and full working order, as if was brand new....:thumbs:
 
Nice set of cameras, my Father passed away recently and I've been going through his collection, so far I've catalogued 126 bodies with loads and loads of lenses.

I've photographed a few and put them up on my Flickr site here.

My Fathers Camera Collection!

The Fed4 is a great camera with a fantastic lens, I use exactly the same lens on a modern Voigtlander Bessa R.

The Zeiss looks lovely too.

Thanks for the comments richard :thumbs:, sorry to hear that your father passed away, but i must say what a collection he has, WOW, I have loads more to put on here to show + lens, i think i might do what you have a put them all on flickR........ :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
 
I've been selling a lot so I try and remember to put the photos up on Flickr as I do them, as once they've gone they've gone. My wife won't let me keep such a large collection (meanie) But I'm trying to enjoy them all and find out as much as I can about them before they all go.

I'm keeping a few, The Leicas, Bessa, Nikon F5, Olympus OM's so I won't totally be without cameras.

Thank you for the sympaths, I am so regretting not being able to relate to all these cameras when he was alive so make the most if it while you can.
 
Cosmic symbol a very underrated camera, I have seen images from these that looked like they were taken with cameras ten times the price ( £500)

Brill bit of kit

I had a Werra in the 1960's and it certainly had a 4 element Tessar lens.
It was a peculiar green colour and had a really weird film advance system.
How I wish I still had that camera!
 
Thanks for the comments guys, im loving sorting through all of these, its great to see how much things have changed over the years :D
 
I just managed over the weekend to get ahold of a Werra 1 myself. Can't wait for it to get here now - just as well Ujjwal let me have some of that decent bw film I reckon :D

... it's here, what an excellent bit of mechanical engineering this is! Cannot wait to get a film in there :D

Arthur
 
It's the black one, a Werra 1, with leather case and manual too. And that wicked little lump of glass at the pointy end too :D

Thats an interesting one, Arthur. It states the lens as Tessar - which, I believe, was produced only for a short period. After which they lost their claim on using the name Tessar; and used T intsead
 
Coo. Well, just dropped half a film inside so will "Take the dog for a walk, dear..."

PS - oddly, manual shows Werra I through V and yet the OP's model is not shown?
