Advertisement Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Hi ogrove, Take a look here Aeriai cameras. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted March 31, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) You mean the "modern" Leica Geosystem devices like the RC30 camera ? Appealing... but a really specialized system for surveyiors... the typical "aerial camera" (not for surveying) in the Leitz Collectors' world is the Military Leitz Canada/Maurer KE28 ... it has all the details which are appreciated by we collectors of "oldtimers"... 😄 https://www.ebay.com/itm/JA-MAURER-KE-28B-U-S-MILITARY-6x6cm-Aerial-Camera-Leitz-Elcan-6-2-8-lens-/143750692392 Edited March 31, 2021 by luigi bertolotti 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the other way round: Wild Heerbrugg A.G. bought the majority of shares of Ernst Leitz GmbH in 1974 and took over completely when the last member of the Leitz family retired in 1987.

And of course I had a Maurer KE-28B nº 630 with Leitz Canada lens Elcan 6in./f2.8 nº 138-0156 with filters and caps, all in a strong "valise". I add photos for those who are interested.
