pop Posted September 18, 2011 Share #21 Posted September 18, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) it's doubtful the fakers will ever bother with a niche/specialist product such as Leica. They do bother with vintage Leicas, though. And they don't aim at the knowledgeable buyer, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Hi pop, Take a look here Be sure you are buying a Leica lens? . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
earleygallery Posted September 18, 2011 Share #22 Posted September 18, 2011 Yes, but as Andy Piper said above, those are working cameras of a very similar design (made with Leica tooling etc) that have been changed to look more like a Leica. I know that some people get caught out even now, some guy was on Antiques Roadshow with his newly acquired antique fair bargain find - a gold plated Olympic games Nazi edition! Then there was the guy on this forum who kept posting images of his collection of rare finds, all obvious Russian fakes, although he refused to accept that any of us were right!
