You thought about a Leica, then this happened!!! Even thinking about a Leica can empty your wallet. 😂

These are great. I am tied up at the moment, but when I break free, I have some vintage Leica promotional literature I can scan ... or do you all only want magazine adverts?
(Also, curses upon the lot of you for making me have deep feels going down this memory lane 😉

I think I know where it's located, (bookshelf in the office)...I have some ads and literature from 1940s/50s Leica in China. Neat to see.
First I need to set up the new laptop.....

I don't think people will mind. Personally I would find them interesting.

I was able to score a copy of Shuichi Sakai's hefty archive of camera ads as they appeared in the pages of Asahi Camera. Not a lot of Latin text, but translator apps work quite nicely.

I found this ad on the web, but I know someone who owns one, and it's unreal, because it's a 1950s camera, but brand-new.

I don't have much context for this ad, save that it's from 1948 and appears to have been printed on pulpy paper.

I pulled down the box with Leica literature from China its not magazine ads but rather promotional literature.....from 1932. Schmidt camera in Peking China. It's probably not appropriate for this thread. Still, it was fun going back and reading through those booklets and pamphlets.

I'm sure no one will object to some scans of that in this thread.

I remember these, but I don’t think I ever used one.

I can still find them in charity shops. My DL supermini had a drop in loading. It was alright. The back had a latch which you could unhook and it will open completely.
