: Can someone give me what would be it's appoximate value?
Gert, that is not an easy question to answer. The obvious one is "whatever someone is willing to pay for it". Why don't you compare your camera to those currently being offered on eBay. There are lots of them there, from time to time, and that should give you a ballpark figure. Condition is everything. It will be worth more if it is clean, bright, unscratched, and not showing obvious wear. There were lots of these cameras made, and to have significant value, yours has to be better than the general "users" out there. Your lens must be clear, unscratched, and have a hopefully fully working shutter without slow speeds. When you advertise it [if you do it on eBay], you need lots of bright, sharp pics from every angle. The rangefinder must be accurate and bright. If you have all that, then the value can run from $100+ up to several hundred, if all the conditions are just right. Frankly, unless you have a roll film back to go with it, it probably won't exceed $150 or so, if that.
