What would the Leica world look like today,
if Nikon rangefinders had used the Leica Screw mount instead of a modified Zeiss Contax lens mount?

Starting bid 150,000 Euro, 26% buyer's premium

I looked up NHS Journal 101 to read about this camera. It was sold along with another, serial no L1101 in 2005 for $67,000.

L11004 seems to date to from around the time of the Nikon One so is really early. Frame size is 24 x 35 not 24 x 32 as in the Nikon One

It made 397,900 Euros (US$470,000) which apparently makes it the most expensive Nikon of all time.
