I didn't see any section that looked really appropriate for this, so here it is in the Main section

My Werramat just arrived, lovely little camera! I also scored the 100 mm tele, both camera and the 50 mm, and the tele seem to be in excellent + condition. The shutter sounds good at all speeds, VF clear, no lens flaws, etc.

I even have the instruction manual, such as it is. Since I've got about 60 years of film burning I'm figuring the camera out, but for a beginner.... good luck! Anyone out there know of a handy-dandy guide, such as were published back in the day by third-party folks? For example the "Way" series.

Another question. While the helical on the 100 is silky-smooth, the 50 is stiff and needs cleaning. Any thoughts on a good shop to do this? Since the shutter is in the body the lenses should be simple inside, but not for me to attempt!

Many thanks for any help!

Thanks for the response! I noticed that you have a connection to Naperville, Ill. My Daughter finally got a tenure track appointment, at North Central College in Naperville. Nice town, but expensive.

I lived in Naperville for more than 10 years. Commuted by train daily to a job in downtown Chicago. Office was within an easy walk to the Art Institute, Buckingham Fountain, the Jazz Festival, Taste of Chicago, etc.

Nice area! My Daughter's husband has a job with the Art Institute. He's a ceramicist; interesting sort. BTW, he doesn't think well of Chicago pizza!
