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 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 ++
