Leica connoisseurs thrill at the chase, at discovering something new, at obtaining that perfect item to complete their system or collection. Behind Leica and other fine cameras there is a wealth of history.

Leica M4 Black Chrome, Nr. 1381791, made in Canada in 1974. While the top plate bears "Wetzlar Germany," this curious camera still has its factory "C" seal in place, and is working. Excellent++

Leica M3 Double Stroke, Nr. 703967, made in 1954 and exhibiting many charcteristics of the early production Leica M3 cameras - perfect for any "M" collection. Back door overpainted. Excellent.

Leica I (Model C Standardized) set. A piece of photograohic history: Leica I Model C Standardized Nr. 52505 with the very rare 135mm swing-over viewfinder mask, 90 "Fat" Elmar f4 Nr. 94275, universal viewfinder VIDOM and well-worn lens shade FIKUS, and early Outfit Case, all from 1930. 

Leica M3 Single Stroke Nr. 1041653, made in 1961. This is one of the cleanest M3s we've seen - very near to Mint and working. The vulcanite is lifting slightly on the back door, but the camera is all original and a prize for any collection. 

The Welta Perfekta - a fascinating folding camera made in Germany to take 120 roll film. With Zeiss 75mm Tessar f3,8 lens. Very rare. Excellent +

The Niko-Mar IV Underwater Housing set with Nikon FEA camera and motor drive, Sekonic meter and 18mm Nikkor f3,5 lens.

One of only 50 pieces ever made by dive-photography innovators Al Giddings and Mike Felgen of San Francisco, these sets were delivered to National Geographic with the Nikon FEA. The “A” stands for “Action” – the camera is otherwise a Nikon FE model. Action finders were originally developed for pilots who needed the full view of the focusing screen but from a distance since they could not place their eye to the viewfinder while flying. Very rare. Excellent++ overall

Leicaflex "Attrappe" (dummy) display camera. Made for Leica dalers to display, the camera has no interior mechanisms. Very rare. Excellent ++
