what the heck is this?

[dexdog]

Twin accessory mounts on top deck- doesn't look like any leica I have ever seen before. Not interested, just curious. And of course, no connection to seller. eBay item 310040158043.

Thanks

Leica Ig, the finderless IIIg for technical use (microscopes etc)

precursor to the MDa?

I have no idea.

 

[Rogrund]

Yes, a Ig. From 1958, I believe.

Only a couple hundred were made! This is a wannahave for collectors. I guess it will bring 1000+ USD.

I wondered if it was a microscope camera. Thanks for the information. The thing that threw me was the screwmount lens, and lack of normal RF windows

I don't think they're that rare, I've seen figures around 6000 made. Of course, they still may be attractive for collectors...
