simonpj Posted February 3, 2021 Share #1  Posted February 3, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, The Leicaflex SL2 with a circle around the logo on the front face of the top plate is mentioned in various publications, and said to be rare. Does anyone have details about how many cameras were made with this version of the logo? Apart from the photos to be found in books by van Hasbroeck, Lager, etc., I have not seen any for sale, or any photos of this version of the SL2 online. Many thanks, Simon  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard Posted February 3, 2021 Share #2 Â Posted February 3, 2021 I guess you may be referring to the Olympic edition of the Leicaflex SL2 (in memory of the 1972 Munich olympics, if I am correct). There may be a bit of a premium to pay for those items, but a Leicaflex SL2 may generally be bought at very reasonable prices nowadays, so don't think of it as a very rare collector's item.

simonpj Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share #3  Posted February 3, 2021 Hi Andy, Thanks for your reply. Actually, I wasn't referring to the Olympic edition. What I am referring to is not a special edition but a production variation which occurred on the SL2 prototypes and in early versions of the SL2 around the time that it was launched, as below. Best, Simon  Welcome, dear visitor!

TheBestSLIsALeicaflex Posted February 13, 2021 Share #5 Â Posted February 13, 2021 Think they were the early ones. Â The SL2 don't really have the value they once had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
