I had lunch with an old friend recently. To say he is currently into Leicas is a supreme understatement. He picked up this one last quarter.

 

How old is this camera? Well, it's from the time between the UR-Leica (the first prototype) and the time at which they made the lenses removable and interchangeable. Yeah. He brought it along to lunch. It reminded me that one of the early screw mount Leica's super powers was its incredibly small size!!!

No wonder the company revolutionized photography. 

The machining on this camera is wonderful and very precision. And yes, this is a working camera.

Amazing. Close to 100 years old.

Just had to share.
