Condition 95%. Body Number: 48188 c1930. Beautiful Leica 1a from 1930 with Fokos rangefinder. This is a very clean example, showing light/normal use by way of various light rubs and small marks, though these form a reassuring patina rather than a detriment. If you've not used a Leica 1a before they are a marvel: pocketable, ergonomic, with a ridiculously good viewfinder, and a version of the Elmar lens that is famed for its plasticty and almost three-dimensional properties. I took one of these to Rome a few years ago and was shocked at how artful the results were. Good shutter speeds. Clean lens, free of haze, fungus or marks. This camera benefits from coming with a black & nickel Fokos rangefinder, which fixes via the accessory shoe on the camera, offering accurate focusing. Stunning and historically significant camera.
