What it is
{"overview":"The Meopta Opema is a Czechoslovak-made compact rangefinder-style camera produced by Meopta in the mid-twentieth century. With only one data point available today, it is difficult to define a reliable price range, and condition, completeness of the original leather case, and working shutter all have a strong influence on what the camera sells for at saleroom level.","buying_guide":"Inspect the shutter for accurate speeds and check the rangefinder, viewfinder optics, and body covering for deterioration, as service support for older Czechoslovak cameras is limited.
