Re: Owla for sale

[dalia miller <dddalia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear David,

At my latest Auction the OWLA I had went for $400.  It is the second and
scarcer model.  The one that you have is the earlier model.  I guess you
have figured out that it is more of a collector's camera and not a "user"
one.  I would place it's market value at around $300.  I had one several
years ago, but it was not in good condition and I sold it for $250.  Hope
this helps in helping you trade and or sell it.  Japanese stereo cameras are
very hard to find and few were made.
