Leicapasion Posted December 3, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 3, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) An online photograph of a shop window caught my attention. Seeing others by the same author I could see that it was a small photography shop in Tokyo. I was able to get in touch via email, with the store owner, to be interested in the KGOON that appeared in the photo. Mr. super friendly, I answer with a more detailed photo and its history: "This product is a very faithful copy of Leitz's Kgoon. This model seems to be a short-term product produced by Schmitt-Shoukai, shortly after World War II. The Leica Tokyo will soon disappear and The Actina Tokyo will appear I think Rights was reluctant to use the name Leica for Japanese products. As a result, this model disappeared immediately from the market. " After negotiating, I was able to add it to my collection. Welcome, dear visitor!
