This mix-and-match approach of the German military makes the camera up for auction all the more remarkable, as it was — unusually — delivered to the Dutch military, who managed to keep the matching motor together with the camera, which is exceptionally uncommon.Leica 250 GG Reporter + Leica-Motor M00EV | Credit: Leitz Photographica Auction
This camera, serial number 918465, was delivered to Brandt, Sweden, and comes with a black paint brass-mount Summicron 50mm f/2 lens .asked if, given the popularity and value of black paint Leica cameras, the Leitz Photographica Auction ever encountered counterfeit cameras. Sure enough, the team sees fake cameras.
The olive M3, produced in 1958, is a scarce early version of the M3 and includes an unusual patina and even some noticeable bubbles in the green paint. This camera is also among the first 20 ever built, although only 300 of these cameras were produced for the German military overall. This model also has an upgraded shutter to improve operability in extremely cold conditions. It could sell for upwards of €70,000 .
Another prototype camera is the Leica MC prototype 3. The camera looks much like the standard CL camera, but each of the prototype’s controls features unusual shapes.While each of the differences between this prototype and the production model belies improvements the designers and engineers made during the design process, they also tell an exciting story that appeals to diehard Leica collectors and enthusiasts.
The beautiful camera will age by design, showing wear and patina relatively quickly. Even though it was built just last year and has been protected, the camera’s metal is already darker than when it was made. If not kept clean after use, the camera will oxidize, turning green.
