Interesting link about Leica build quality and its results

[peterm1]

I cannot read German but the photos speak for themselves. I imagine that a few of these items could be sold on eBay as "very good condition" 🙄

Its intresting to know what these cameras have been through.
Two or three are from the Hindenburg disaster. One of them was from a sunken ship. The Leicaflex fell 8 kilometers into a desert. And apperently, one of them saved the life of a photographer, by being in front of the bullet.

Google translation did an understandable job for that site: http://www.google.com/translate?u=h...nteuerleicas.htm&langpair=de|en&hl=en&ie=UTF8
