About Driving through the Italian Dolimites we saw this camera dealer and his wife stopped by the side of the road. Among the usual ex-Soviet trinkets there were two very nice looking WWII era Leicas. Both had the official German military insignias and one was made of brass and had a naval emblem on it so I guessed it was a corrosion resistant version for sea use. It seemed cheap at 100 Euros, and he assuerd me it was in full working order, but I didn't buy it because I have no idea how to appraise such a camera. Besides it does not use standard size film so would only be a trophy item for me anyway, which I'm not interested in. Anybody know about these cameras? Did I miss the deal of a lifetime?

This image has sepia toning effect.

Hi Omar,

this sounds like a strange deal... and a deal that doesn't happen very often. so probably? Yes! =)

good work here. some lights are blown out, but the grainy sepia look adds to the scene.

well done.

best wishes, Thilo

Wonderful capture, it awakens the fleamarket junkie in me.

If they were in good condition that might have been a very good deal indeed. Some of the special edition Leicas are quite sought after as collector's items...

Very nice expression and moment captured, Omar! Love his expression here. He looks so proud with the cameras. Well I'm not sure if it's working or not, but perhaps it's worth it to collect...:)

Hi Ian,
I dunno much about camera history. I opened it up and it was something between 35mm and 120mm. Also didn't seem to dake cartridges so I guess it would require buying sheet film and cutting down to size and then rolling on a spool. I'm sure ther are some Leica experts around here who can enlighten me!

I thought Leicas were what established the modern film size.
