jc_braconi Posted December 3, 2010 Share #1 Posted December 3, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Leicaflex SL production commenced in 1968 at camera number 1173001 and ceased at number 1375000 in 1974 with 70995 issues. The camera incorporated full through the lens metering, the SL suffix standing for “selected light” metering area, coinciding with the circle of microprisms in the center of the viewfinder. The camera featured a depth of field preview button. The lenses made for the earlier Leicaflex could be used although they did not allow the metering system to be used. Lenses to suit the Leicaflex SL incorporated two cams. The shutter speed dial control was now in black . Batteries were located in the camera base. There was a modified camera back lock. Models were produced in satin chrome, catalogue number 10001, but a black finish was available with a plain focusing screen, catalogue number 10012. 1080 SL MOT were produced in 1972/74 in black with MOT engraved on the pentaprism housing. They had an internal drive shaft an all contacts and controls were mounted externally on the camera base plate thus allowing the motor to be attached or detached without removing the base plate. A special edition of 1000 LEICAFLEX SL’s with special serial numbers and bearing the Olympic rings were issued to commemorate the Munich Olympiad of 1972.
