Advertisement Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Hi jaapv, Take a look here What's the most expensive Leica you've personally seen?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
otto.f Posted October 4, 2019 Share #22 Posted October 4, 2019 I’d love to have that titanium M7 though, mortgages are quite cheap today and an equity of 165.000 isn’t rare either these days. If there is any M that would make sense in titanium, it’s an M7, because it’s the heaviest analogue M, heavier than an M9 with battery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the rewinder of an MP but the shutter speed selector of the M7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha last resting place of many a rarity under a tombstone with too many zeroes... I think Schouten plays the long game. Prices things in a range from a bit over the top to ludicrously high and waits for that buyer that simply must have the item. I quite like that he has an old black and white leaflet about the original MP from the '50s for €450. 😀 What I don't like is bollocks where something is described as mint but also not-mint in the same sentence. E.g. "In mint condition (some very small marks on the bottom are visible)Leica 35mm finder." He also describes that 35mm finder as "rare" despite having three for sale in his own shop.😂 Edited October 4, 2019 by wattsy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB_tx Posted October 4, 2019 Share #29 Posted October 4, 2019 The most expensive Leica I've seen was the first one I saw - that's what started me buying them ever since. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd own that in a second if I could, but I don't know if I'd be willing to use it and scuff it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted October 5, 2019 Share #32 Posted October 5, 2019 This design would benefit from a little brass wear on the edges Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiver Posted February 4, 2020 Share #33 Posted February 4, 2020 In Hong Kong in 2008, there was an anthracite MP with Leicavit in a cabinet. That's got to be worth decent cash now. Likewise, in 2010, there was an anthracite MP in Yodobashi Camera in Osaka. Just checked online. The anthracite MP with Leicavit and Summicron seems to go for about $14,000 these days, but without the lens, it goes for around $7000. Interesting. Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted April 14, 2020 Share #35 Posted April 14, 2020 In 1968 a Wild Heerbrugg T3A-M theodolite. Leica bought Wild Heerbrugg a few years back. We used the T3A-M to transfer the azimuth of true north from the north star to a collimator. The collimator would transfer that reference to the guidance and control system of a Minuteman II ICBM. The Soviets used the same theodolite. In 1968 dollars they cost around $30,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
