45. Leica 72 18x24 Midland *

Rare and authentic and near mint Leica 72, Midland in perfect working original condition. With red scale Elmar 3.5/5cm no.1323321. The camera was inspected and approved by Ottmar Michaely. 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 film was scarce and valuable. In the early 1950s, a small run of Leica 72 cameras was produced in Wetzlar. The “serial production” of 150 units (nos.357301-357450) was then built at the Leitz factory in Midland, Ontario (Canada). The Leica 72 is a sought-after collector’s item. As counterfeit cameras do exist, we strongly recommend to buy a camera which was approved by experts.
