luigi bertolotti Posted March 3, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 3, 2009 It's a very valuable collector's item : # 500.000 camera presented in 1950 to Dr. Ernst Leitz II: a number of cameras with "special" numbers were presented to personalities (555.555 to the Dalai Lama, 575.000 to Dr. Schweitzer, 1.000.000 to Dr. Ludwig Leitz...), and this is one of the most interesting, being a Leitz family item. The authenticy, I think, is out of discussion: Photo Arsenal seems to have a specific agreement with Leica co. to sell very special models, belonging to Leica museum or anyway coming from "around the factory". I do not have idea if it will reach the "suggested" price: sure is an interesting auction to follow and/or to partecipate... ... not for me, personally) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted March 3, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 3, 2009 I hope it's a fake:( It would be no good example for people keeping their stuff in order and using it properly, if one sees Ernst Leitz's Leica ending up on ebay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
