Hi, I need a replacement prism with intact mirror. I could not find a way to recoat it and now you see big black dots in the viewfinder.
Will be looking ebay for a camera for parts but I would be greatful to find it alone which would save me from trying to make the second camera OK too : )

Can you post a pic of the part? I do have a dead Werra 1, but I'm fairly certain as you say prism that parts from my viewfinder won't fit.

yes thanks to Adrian now I have prism in good order. Though it seem like there are different versions. Mine was with copper colored frame new one is with thin black lines on the view. I can get an original one later maybe along with a cap for its lens =)

Put Werras parts back today, after long hiatus but the new prism do not focus right. diopter? no use.
Maybe its slightly different from the original one,not just frame design...

Bought a new Werra from ebay for its cap, case and prism. Sadly prism is with a lot of small black dots. So hunt continues for the prism.
