The camera, lens, and accessories are in mint condition, extremely rare for a 70-year-old piece. This camera is highly collectible and is the most classic example of Leica's screw mount era. Alongside the contemporary Leica M3 with its bayonet mount, it is one of the two most iconic mechanical Leicas, predating the issue of batteries and electronics. The Elmar lens, with its retractable barrel, makes the camera discreet and easy to carry—ideal for sensitive press photography. The camera is in excellent working condition. The accompanying box is extremely hard to find, especially in such a well-preserved condition.
