Leica LTM New World Record for 0-serie Leica

[Ron (Netherlands)]

Well we seem to have a new world record price for a vintage 0-serie cam; supposed to be the second that is ever publicly sold.

In this case actioneers fees (and taxes) become really high (see end price at ebay and price mentioned in below szon site

cheers,

How many new M8 cameras could you buy with that much money?
Which is "better"?
Thanks for the posting.

Which is better ? The camera that has less to go wrong with it ?

I was "watching" that camera on e-Bay, just to see what it would fetch... it sure was a nice looking piece...

Ritz has two Null repros for sale for about 1/100 of what the "real" thing went for...

I think the repro looks much better: they mingled quite a lot with the vintage one e.g. the lens was only some years ago attached to the camera (for long this camera was known just with missing lens) Further the viewfinder seems not te be orginal and was later attached, as is the vulcanite... whereas the repro is fully original 😉
