Leica 110
It may be hard for some people to believe, but Leica made a 110 camera. But
it would be more accurate to say that they PLANNED to make a 110 camera. In
1974, Leica made a prototype 110 camera, but the camera was never actually
produced and marketed. How many prototypes are out there is still a
mystery, and this is one reason why they get such fantasic prices at auction
when they show up -- tens of thousands of dollars! The camera looked like
most 110 cameras, but it had all the extra touches, such as built-in sliding
lens cover, focusing lens, built-in CDS meter, extra large viewfinder and
more. For a 110 camera, it has an amazing array of features. Rangefinder
focusing from 2' to infinity with scale visible on the top of camera,
automatic parallax correction in the viewfinder, 25mm f2.8 lens,
aperture-priority auto-exposure, apertures selectable from f2.8 - f16,
apertures visible in the viewfinder, electronic shutter automatically sets
the correct
shutter speed from 1/1000th to 4 seconds, over- and under-exposure warning
lights in the viewfinder. WOW!!! Please contact us if you have more
details.
