Leica IIIa with 50mm f2 Lens
Leica IIIa with 50mm f/2 Lens
- Description
- Chrome finish Leica IIIa with a collapsible 50mm f/2 Summar. The first Summar lenses were in a rigid screw mount; however Leitz had a long tradition of making a standard lens that collapsed in the camera body, thus making the camera very compact. For a time they even made a 90mm telephoto that would collapse in the same way.
