Do I remember seeing a fixed lens (ie hockey stick) Leica I with a 35mm lens and viewfinder? The viewfinder had a large front 'window'. Don't seem to be able to find any references to it but haven't trawled through Westlicht old auctions.
I've never seen a picture of it, but it is known that Leitz experimented with a Leica I model A type of camera with a fixed "WEISU" and a fixed Elmar 35mm f/3.5. The advantage would be that no rangefinder was needed as the 35mm lens had enough dept of field.
The Elmar f/3.5 35mm was good enough.
Leica I model C, Elmar f/3.5 35mm nickel, WEISU, 400-2TMY, Perceptol.
Erik.
