a very rare, most expensive ever camera – courtesy Leitz Photographica Auction<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. This post is courtesy of Sonja Pushchak. It involves a bid in an Austrian\u00a0auction<\/a> reported in a British society’s newsletter (Tailboard<\/a>). The post title is a riff on the movie, “The \u00a0Perfect Storm<\/a>” were the forces of mother nature come together with an \u00a0exciting effect.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the bid for Oskar Barnack’s Leica resulted in the tiny marvel becoming the most highly priced camera ever (so far). Provenance, rarity, fame, (very) deep pockets, great desire and a feisty audience (both live and via phone) culminated in this 12 million Euro bid for Leica null series camera 105 – Barnack’s personal camera!<\/p>\n

When you think back to the modest original cost of this Leica, the bid is astonishing. Few collectors can afford the bid++ price of this one piece. Leica series 0, number 105 – often photographed, seldom passed from one home to another.<\/p>\n
