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 M6J Nr. 1962-12 in very fine, working condition, with companion 50mm Elmar-M f2,8 M6J lens, Nr. 1957-24 with lens shade and caps. Excellent ++

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

Leica 1 (Model A) with 50mm Elmar f3,5, Nr. 38156 complete with strap lugs! This camera is otherwise all original and working (with a 6-month warranty). Excellent +

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

Leica M3 "Attrappe" Nr. 12076A with 50mm Collapsible Summicron f2 Attrappe (no serial number). After the German word for "dummy", an Attrappe was made as a window display unit, and had no interior mechanisms. This set was owned by Al Clarke, one of the founders of the Leica Historical Society of America, who gleefully used this camera to prank other LHSA members. Good condition.

Leica IIIc K Grey Enamel, Nr. 390772 K, made in 1945 and converted to IIIf functionality by the Leitz factory in the 1950s. Working. Excellent +
