Rare and authentic and near mint Leica 72, Midland in perfect working original condition. With red scale Elmar 3.5/5cm no.1102512. The only half-frame Leica model to go into serial production is the Leica 72. It takes 72 instead of 36 exposures on one regular roll of film. Earliest experimental Leica half-frame cameras date back to the 1940s when the film was scarce and valuable. The “serial production” of 150 units (nos.357301-357450) was built at the Leitz factory in Midland, Ontario (Canada). The Leica 72 is a highly sought-after collector’s item.
