jc_braconi Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share #41 Posted January 9, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) JC, Many thanks for posting that link. It makes me wonder if I should have persisted with my "Friday" Leicaflex black SL, since it is such a great looking camera. However three visits to Leica UK in the first three months were just too much and I switched to Contax RTS type cameras for the next 20 years (139, RTS2, RX and AX). Wilson Sometimes s...happens even with our beloved cameras 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JMF Posted April 8, 2016 Share #45 Posted April 8, 2016 Dear all, ... a little question or two to trigger your expertise ! I have a black 21 Super Angulon 3.4 from 1974 sn 2672856 which has the scripture "BUND" engraved in yellow next to the infinity mark. Is it a military version ? Is there anything special about it ? Thanks and best regards, Jean-Marc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UliWer Posted April 27, 2016 Share #50 Posted April 27, 2016 Strange item! Perhaps the west-german secret service was critized that their ("Hektor") field of view was too narrow - so they ordered Super-Angulons.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2016 Share #51 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Bund simply states Federal versus Land, which would be Regional as: Hessen, Saarland...etc Ein Bundesland is a region of the country Edited April 27, 2016 by tri Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 28, 2016 Share #52 Posted April 28, 2016 So simple. Bund is the federation of Bundesländer which makes up Germany. So some government agency bought a lens, presumably to go with a camera, and Leica kindly engraved it for them to prevent some civil servant from pressing it into private use.

pop Posted April 28, 2016 Share #53 Posted April 28, 2016 Literally, "Bund" is German for "Federation" and is often used similarly as in the USA in "FBI". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photomic38 Posted May 1, 2017 Share #60 Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) In the most important camera museum in France at Saint Bonnet de Mure , département Rhône 69. It has the second collection of Nikon after the Nikon Museum in Japan. Lots of very rare cameras. Luckily, I live at 25km.
