Will you earn enough in your lifetime to purchase it? Very interesting.

Pity it never got to production, but all makers do such prototypes, but they very rarely surface for sale like this one.

I would at least like to hold it in my hand. I would also like to wander around Weztlar for an afternoon taking pictures with the with the Ur-Leica. Remember to put the lens cap on before you wind it!

That is a cool camera. I have not seen it before. I wonder how many were made.

It seems to me a plain ripoff of the pen F even down to the Rotary shutter. On the other hand it looks so modern, i've expected to see a LCD screen on the back, i think no changes to the design would be neccesary if they should decide to re-issue it as a retro chique DX camera.

Reading between the lines they may have co-operated with Olympus. Pr just ripped them off. This camera has a spring wound motor that will transport 24 exposures in one wind. Not bad at all really. |
