Leica 72 18x24 Midland
very rare and early original Leica 72 Midland Ontario in beautiful, near mint condition, with Summicron 2/5cm no.1318859 (front lens cap). The Leica 72 was the only half-frame Leica model to go into serial production, it takes 72 exposures on a regular 35mm film (the frame counter goes up to 75). The earliest experimental Leica half-frame cameras date back to the 1940s when the film was scarce and valuable. Only 150 units were built at the Leitz factory in Midland, Ontario (Canada), undeniably a highly sought-after and collector’s item, in outstanding condition!
