Exact copy
of the Leica II except the lack of accessory
shoe which is characteristic for the FED Type I
and the early Type II cameras. With large speed
dial. This type also has a small black circle in
the middle of the back for adjusting the camera
like on the Leica la. Early cameras bear marks
of hand-finishing and unusual burnished finish
on the plated brass or brushed chrome instead of
black paint or chrome. |
