106. Leica M2 chrome Midland

Very rare Midland M2, in near mint condition, engraved "Ernst Leitz Canada Limited Midland Ontario" on the top plate.

Only about 1,500 units of the Leica M2 were assembled at the Leitz plant in Canada, while the total production of this camera numbered more than 76,000. Usually, these cameras were equipped with top plates from the Wetzlar production. Just a handful of single units carry the “Leitz Canada“ engravings and were probably intended as samples. Included is such as rare a matching Midland Summarit 1.5/5cm no.1420209 (near mint with clean optics)
