Werra Nice (ok..I know it's a weak pun!)

Was just out for a walk with The Bestes Frau In The World and we stopped to sit on a bench overlooking the beach as is our want. Standing by the cliff edge were a couple- probably in their late 50's- taking pictures. She was using her smart phone, he a Werra MK1 Green. It was such an appealing scene that I forgot to take a picture of it myself , hence the stock photo of the camera concerned !
I couldn't quite be sure with it partially covered by his hand - from where I sat- as to whether it was a Werra or a Yashica so of course I had to ask and we then spent a few pleasant minutes talking shop. He had only just bought it and was giving it its test run. Fotunately we both managed to extract ourselves from further conversation BEFORE words  like 'Protor' and 'Planar' were uttered.

Not so much 'OCD' as 'OGC'-Old German Camera Geeks..it's a recognised mental disorder.
