A couple years ago I was offered $11,000 for this camera and I declined the offer since I just got the camera and I was too excited to give it up. It was veriefied that it is an authentic Leica Luftwaffen camera. The camera is dark gray/greenish color over all. On the front of the lens it says Leitz Elmar f=5cm 1:35.įrom what I know is that this camera was issued to the Nazi Air force, and this camera was used in WWII (only 6 films were run through the camera so it's in excellent condition). On the back it says 'Luftwaffen Eigentun'. I have a Leica D.R.P Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Fl. Hello, I know a lot of people have asked questions about this similar camera but I am hoping someone can help me out with mine. Leica incorporates slow shutter speeds on this model. The first Leica camera with a rangefinder. The first Leica camera designed with a film-to-lensflange distance of 28.8 millimeters. Leica 35 mm series with interchangeable lens screw mount style Leica bodies: Leica Standard – 1932. Postwar Leica IIIc (serial number over 400,000). As an upgrade of the Leica IIIb, the Leica IIIc had important changes.
