What it is
On the basis of the single data point available today, what a 139 Quartz is worth at auction sits in the modest two-figure range, though clean, fully working bodies with Zeiss glass attached can sell for more.","buying_guide":"Inspect the electronics carefully: these bodies depend on battery power for the shutter, and dead or intermittent meters and stuck shutters are common faults on cameras of this age.
