It is great to see that this camera is still around and will be put to use again shortly. We had some discussions here lately about how Leicas were traded with occupying forces, such as the US Army, after WWII. In this case, the camera was buried for 6 months to avoid it being taken by occupation forces. It is still around and it has great significance and provenance for the current owner. https://kosmofoto.com/2020/02/german-leica-buried-ww2/ William- 7 replies

Hi, I'm new poster to this amazing forum after being Leica C&P (Collector&Photographer) over 18 years and currently 'decide' to return in film world. In the last week, I acquired this Leica Standard in a trusted Germany based dealer, it's No. 105901, one of first 5000 production when Leica introduced Model E in 1932. As its S/N closed to end of 106000, I believe it was manufactured by Leica in late 1933. Overall condition fare good considering its age of 88 elder than my father, I'm quite satisfied. To my knowledge, I understood all Leica Standard(model E) were no lugs except some late 40' model using iiic body. HOWEVER, it's too odds that my first-batch-Leica Standard was WITH lugs, I checked carefully, and quite sure both lugs not 'upgraded' later as aging abrasion 100% matched to body elsewhere. Can I get any advice if this Leica Standard is true? How and why it came with original lugs?

I keep an old Leica in my drawer ever since my father replaced it with a more modern camera back in the mid-70's. According to serial no = 137xxx, the lookup table (Leica Screw Mount Serial #'s Sorted by Number) and the pictures on JC Barconi's webpage this seems to be a "Leica Standard" built in 1934. The leflet for calculation shutter times states a print date of "April 1933". Does this all fit ? Are there still many of these models around and where can I find some interested collectors for this item? I have made some (digital) fotos of the camera and can send them for a better visual impression, if interested. Thanks in advance for any good hints or pointers.

Ich habe eine alte Leica im Kasten liegen, seit mein Vater sie in den mittleren 70er Jahren durch eine Kleinbildkamera ersetzt hat. Laut Seriennummer 137xxx , der Tabelle (Leica Screw Mount Serial #'s Sorted by Number ) und der Bildergalerie auf JC Braconi's page ist das wohl eine "Leica Standard" Bj 1934. Das beigelegte Belichtungsheftl enthält (ausser einem gepressten Edelweiss) die Angabe: "April 1933". Kann das so stimmen? Gibt's von denen noch viele im Umlauf und wo gibt's interessierte Sammler für das gute Stück? in Österreich...? Danke im Voraus für sachdienliche Hinweise!

Hallo und Guten Tag. Für meine Leica Standard habe ich den Entfernungsmesser "FOKOS" erworben. --Nachkriegsprodukt, chrom, graues Fenster ---- Bedingt durch die Konstruktion kann der E.-Messer nur vertikal auf die Kamera geschoben werden. In der Literatur finden sich Hinweise, die den Entfernungsmesser in horizontaler Lage zeigen. Gibt es den dazu erforderlichen Sockel einzeln zu erwerben ? Wie lautet die Leica-Telegramm-Bezeichnung ? Mein FOKOS besitzt den Zapfen für die horizontale Montage und für die Drehmöglichkeit, um an das Zeitenrad zu kommen. Für Hinweise wäre ich sehr dankbar ! Gruß Horst
