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 ++

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 +
