Leica 1 (1929) equipped with a Leitz Elmar 50mm f/3.5 lens. The camera also comes with a leather case and a few accessories!

1925 Leipzig Spring Fair in Germany, a camera was launched that was destined to change the face of photography. This was a time when it was still common for glass plates to be used in cameras, and those that took roll film were thought of as miniatures. So imagine the culture shock when a still photography camera was produced to take 35mm movie film.

The Leica was by no means the first 35mm camera, but it was the first to make 35mm truly viable, leading to the most popular film format ever.

This camera also has a detachable lens! Note this camera has been in the same family since new!
